Mondays are always rough when heading out for work, but today was different because I was looking forward to posting my very first blog.

It was during this drive - I have it down to 45 minutes,  no matter how fast or slow I go, it always takes 45 minutes - that I decided on the title for the blog. I had several  ideas, but they didn't seem to fit.

You see every day I commute. Every day I see some of the same things - like today I was behind three large gravel trucks heading out to the construction on U.S.Highway 77. This was a short line today - usually I'm behind as many as five. I met two others going back to reload.

Everyday I also come upon someone who wants to travel 55 in a 70 mph and those who want to 90 in the construction zone. I just pray that they make it to their designated place on time.

I learned a long time ago, if I'm late when I leave home, I'm going to be late when I get to work. I just accept it - why risk my life and the life of everyone else to get to work just a little less late.

 So if you see me on the road or you are one of the many motorists on the highway behind the gravel trucks or just trying to get to work or back home,  tell me your stories.

 Remember, life is highway.
