I surprisingly love the morning heavy traffic across where I live. It gives me the chance to take my time to prepare myself for the day, ride on the bus of my choice, and take a nap before stepping to a new dimension which activates every 8 am to 5 pm everyday: WORK.

I’ve been waking up early ever since I was attending primary school. Since my dad used to work in Makati, I ride with him to school everyday. I literally am the first student to enter everyday.

The heavy traffic gives me the chance to watch the news on bus television. I also get to listen to music on my playlist, which also helps me to get started for the day. But most importantly, the traffic goves me the chance to stare blankly outside, think and reflect about my life and present stae, and plan about my future. In a world that’s full of people who are time conscious and in a rush everyday, I am one of the lucky few who takes the opportunity to relax and just be myself for a while. This doesn’t come cheap these days.

Thank you, Lord, for creating this wonderful thing called traffic. When I’m all too preoccupied and in a hurry, you give me this chance to appreciate this life and your blessings this morning.
