my drive home

i have said it before and i will say it again, i really love my drive home from work. it's a good 30 minutes and gives me quiet time to enjoy the world around me and decompress from the chaos of the er.
today was a not so great day in the er. by far not the worst, but not great either. i didn't get out of there until almost 30 minutes late and i was pretty non stop most of the day. i left work feeling uptight and blah, but by the time i got home, i felt relaxed and worry free.
perhaps this is why...
i get to/have to drive through downtown to get home. sometimes it's a pain because of how much traffic there is, but i can't help but slow down a little and enjoy this image. i am by no means an exemplary temple attender, but when i do go, it's some of my favorite times. and driving by it seems like a close second. just seeing the temple as i drive by makes time slow down and turns my attention to the gospel. just standing there, a pillar of such significance in my life. and just then, all the stress and chaos from my day, melts away.
life is good again.
