In reply to Dilip Choudhary. It's wonderful to hear that you used to do this during school days! Bringing those cherished activities into the present, especially for work, sounds like a fantastic idea. Thanks for your kind words and happy reminiscing!

This is one of the interesting and most go to bucket list I have since childhood. Used to do this when I was in school. Should imply this for work too. Thanks for sharing this one, Annette. Honest, keep up the great work…

In reply to Kelly- the Bucketlist Junkie. That sounds like a beautiful route! I have taken my "alternative route" since the first time and add a few other new ones to it too ;)

I, too, only have about a 4 minute drive to work, but I find myself doing this too sometimes. There is this route to my job that is a LOT longer than the one I normally take (it adds about 10+ minutes) but it is a road that drives alongside this beautiful river that runs through our town and the drive itself is humbling.
At 7:00am (when I need to start gettin my butt in gear to drive to work), the water is like glass and you are almost ALWAYS guaranteed to see ducks and swans on it. The sun rises in the summer over the mountains and reflects on its surface, and the air is so fresh and dewy. I often take it when I have time to kill and/or need a mood pick-me-up. I am the same in that I believe ANY new experience is a good one and could never be considered "lame."
Have you taken this route since?

Wow, you're right…that is totally random! Like you, I live near my job. I have a 3 mile commute that takes less than 5 minutes. My entire morning routine is schedule around getting out the door before the bus stop at the entrance to my neighborhood. If I'm even a few minutes behind, my typical 3 minute commute turns into a 6 minute one and it throws off my whole day.
