Day 15: I'm grateful that I have an amazing view of the temple on my way home from work every day.
In detail:
Since I've started my new job, I have a completely new path of commute. Instead of taking 680 North to work, I now take 580 West. Mileage-wise it's only about 2 miles different each way. Time-wise it's between 10-20 minutes longer each way.
There are a couple things about my new commute that I'm not terribly happy about: The traffic is quite a bit more congested, and I no longer have the option of stopping at my parents' house on the way home.
However, I have discovered that calling and talking to my parents on the way home makes the commute much more enjoyable, and also makes me a more courteous driver.
But I think my favorite thing about my new commute, particularly when coupled with the recent time change which results in me driving home after dark every evening, is that for a portion of my drive I can look up and see the beautiful shinning sight of the temple on the hill. And it is beautiful. And it is bright. And every single time it reminds me that that is where I need to keep my focus and that that is the direction I always want to be going in.
And that is pretty awesome.
