Torn up streets
uneven steel plates
a slalom course of ruts and pot holes
lanes close from one day to the next
unexpected detours appear over night
orange cones scattered around town
like giant candy corn
Moan and groan
tapping my fingers on the steering wheel
reminder to leave earlier
Pause
breathe in…. exhale out
Switch gears
head to East Cliff
relief
Dancing to the Words 
I love how this article highlights the power of positive thinking and finding relief in the midst of frustrating situations. It’s a great reminder to pause, breathe, and switch gears for a more enjoyable journey.
