A Perk


For the past 6 years Chris has driven between 3 and 6 hours a day communting to and from work. Most of the time this driving was done in crazy traffic, not providing the calm de-stressing time he could of used. He currently leaves just before 9, and is almost always home by 5 (if not earlier). Since he works downtown, we often meet him for a coffee, ice cream or as we did today, met for lunch. Spontaneously I picked up some pizza, and we all walked over to the picnic tables beside the lake to share lunch. It was so amazing to share this beautiful weather together, but to have the opportunity for him to be part of our day with such ease. As we walked him to his office, hand in hand, surrounded by our 'guys' we looked at each other thinking the same thing- how great that was.
