I was stuck in the traffic jam after school drop, which is not surprising during even date. Not quite real traffic, just long and long traffic light. Three times red light within few meters.
My mind wandered to the past and couldn’t help going through the memory lane when school drop and pick up looked like this.
Stuck in the traffic shouldn’t be a happy situation, but, the control is always on our hand. Looking back to these pictures, instead of sad, I felt happy. And grateful. Instead of wishing the situation now would be like those pictures, I am grateful I had it once. I was truly living all the idea that once only happened inside my head. I found comfort in Dr Seuss words , “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened”.
I actually don’t have any complaints stuck in the traffic jam after school drop. This is one thing I surely miss later in the future. So, I’ll enjoy all the red light while it lasts.
