November 4, 2013: Carpooling

Today, I want to reflect on how grateful I am that, although I have a 45-50 minute commute one way, I rarely dread the ride because I have one of my best buds to share it with... my mom! My mom and I carpool almost everyday, and I can honestly say that I never would have made it commuting that far for 8 months without her daily companionship.

I know I can be frustrating at times because it is so difficult to be on time in the am, but I'm so very glad that she puts up with me and I get to sit down to coffee with my mom 5 days a week. She also bakes me biscotti sometimes, so I have another reason to be grateful for carpooling with my mom. And we are saving the environment (and money...)!

 That's my mom, isn't she a doll?

So, just to recap: Today, 11/04/13 I am grateful for carpooling with my mom for the following reasons:

1. Her company makes driving 45 minutes one way interesting and fun
2. I get to see my mom 5 days a week
3. She bakes biscotti for me
4. We are saving the environment!
5. We save money!

Thanks for sticking with me today. Happy Monday!
