A Morning Ritual

When I wake, I first go to the loo, but because I have so much to do, it’s while on my way to work that I pray. It’s a ritual I can stick to! For I pray as I’m driving along, and I might even sing a nice song, but when traffic is bad, I must not get mad. With my mind on God, can I go wrong?

YES, you can get a ticket! Last ticket I got was in downtown Dallas during morning commute. I was praying!, and ran a stop light. Darn the day cops became females (was a time I could get out of tickets). In hindsight, its kinda funny. So, this is especially cute to me, it really is. Love ... CayCay

I am a great multi tasker and even talking on my cell phone, I am paying attention to everything going on around me on the road. I put my makeup on while driving and i do not even see the mirror. I've been doing it so long. hahaha

Always amazes me how you ladies can multi-task and make it appear so easy lol. Me, my minds on where I'm going and I don't always get there at first attempt lol. Hiya Petal, Merry Christmas to you, hope you and all yours are having a great time. Take care, Richard

Nice religious theme here. The Macabbees led the fight against a cruel ruler who would not let them celebrate their religion. The brothers won - against overwhelming odds - and that is why we celebrate it every year at this time. Merry XMAS to you! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

In the company of God it all works out..I like the fact that you pray while driving...must be a calming influence.

Residual Morning Ritual Morning habit had become habitual, That soon would turn into a ritual; Worn thin, Again and again; Effects ended up being residual.
