Top Reasons Traffic Time Can Be GOOD

1.  I sometimes need/use it as 'decompression time' - to de-stress myself before I get home and have 2 jumping dogs and other things to take care of.

2.  I enjoy listening to talk radio and I have my favorite morning people and my favorite afternoon people - they become like travel companions or friends as you get to know them and what kinds of things they talk about.

3.  With that time in between being at your desk at work and being at home, you create more of a separation between work and home life.  I know it's only traffic, but with technology, sometimes it's hard to separate yourself from work, but I find that the distance creates kind of a boundary.

4.  The distance between work and home creates two different lives almost - your work week environment and your weekend environment.  Stores you are near and can stop by, restaurants in both areas, etc.

5.  Living farther from work makes it less likely that you would see a co-worker at Lowe's when your hair is a mess and you don't have any make-up on (doing house projects and running errands).
