Sometimes, the morning commute brings an unexpected moment of joy. Today, I was stopped at a light when a car honked at me. Naturally, my first thought turned to ‘uh oh….what’d I do?’

Nothing, it turned out. My fellow commuter was taking his little boy to day care or to school, and I assume his little boy REALLY likes motorbikes, because the driver gestured toward the back seat and rolled down the window so I could give his son a big wave and a thumbs up. The smile on that kid’s face just completely made my day. It’s the little things for sure.
