I sometimes took a break from my reading to look out the train window at all the cars stuck in traffic. When you add snow, road construction, and traffic accidents, our tollways and streets often turn into giant parking lots. People end up sitting in their cars for hours, wondering if they will ever see their loved ones again. I would much rather sit on the train and read, study, doze, or simply stare out the window and drift along with the passing scenery. As a graduate student, I will endeavor to take most of my classes at a DePaul campus near Schaumburg, where I now work.
Happiness is an attitude.
We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.
