Take a new route Tuesday 

This morning I left my house early to make a 9 o’clock meeting which is two hours away heading north. I’m driving into fog and drizzle. And the thought weighs heavily on my mind that I must drive two hours south to make it to the class at 6 o’clock this evening that class is another two hours from my house. 

So essentially I making a big triangle in mid Missouri today. Sometimes I wonder what I’ve gotten myself into with the amount of travel that comes with Extension work. 

But then I remind myself that I’m not alone. So many others across the state are doing the same thing, getting behind the wheel of the car, windshield time, in order to make destinations that will end up serving the citizens of Missouri.

I am grateful for this job and this opportunity even on those days when 300 miles is Not a stretch.

So today, I will try to practice what I preach and look for the possibility... to enJOY!
