The Long and Short of It

I have a job.  Yay!

I have a home.  Yay!

My commute is 60 miles, each way.  Umm, yay?

In a way, I guess you could say Yay!  There are times when it seems to be a bit much, but like anything else you have to consider your alternatives.

I might not be working.  In today's economy that's a very real possibility, especially here in Northern Michigan where not working seems to be not far from the thoughts of an awful lot of us.  Since my odds of hitting the lottery are about as likely as getting hit by lightning, I think that having a job is something not to be taken for granted.

I might not have a home.  Again, here in Michigan that's something that we know a bit about, and in fact, earlier this year that was a distinct possibility for me.  I am exceedingly grateful to have a home and, bonus, a job at the same time.

So, what's a 60 mile commute, twice a day?  Bring it on!
