Who’s not ready to get home after working all day?  I know I am and I am assuming everyone else is as well.  I know not everyone can do this but if you can and it doesn’t add much time to your drive home, take the long way.  I have about three or four ways I can go home each day.  But the one I use the most keeps me off the interstate and for the most part keep me from driving in town too.  it adds about 5 minutes to 10 minutes, depending on if I get behind a tractor of something, but it’s so worth it.  For me anyway, I find myself running so much that the only time to do a little decompressing is taking the long way and just enjoying the beauty of Gods creation.  When I do this it seems I enjoy Moriah’s smile a bit more when I get home and I’m able to be a bit more relaxed.  It may have something to do with not having to deal with jerks on the road, but taking the longer way home seems to do my soul good.  I don’t mean to get all philosophical here, I’m just a ole country boy but I do think being able to slow down at any point throughout the day is a good thing.  And for me, taking the long way home is a time to slow down just a bit and thank God for His blessings on me.  Sorta like the Larry Fleet song, “Where I Find God”.
