Day to Day happenings in my life

Holiday traffic

Have fun with these words: explode, promote, reasonable, density, composition, compose, moment, prediction, reconcile and shallow.

I felt almost ready to explode in the Christmas traffic. Normal, reasonable people seem to lose their equilibrium as they attempt to find a parking space. This time of the year is when you realise the density of the town or city in which we live. There are too many people, and my prediction is we will soon run out of space altogether. I took a moment and tried to compose myself as I drove around and around in the heat of an Australian summer. I attempted to promote a feeling of goodwill and to reconcile myself to the fact my fellow sufferers were all frustrated too. Turning on the radio I was assailed by Christmas music, simple musical compositions which have withstood the test of time and as I sang along in the crush of slow moving vehicles I attempted to lift my shallow thoughts and find some Christmas spirit.
