5 Things that you miss about your daily drive / commute to work.
- music – I listen to music sometimes when I am home, definitely in the car, but I don’t drive everyday so I do miss it.
- familiarity – I always liked “knowing” what to expect along my drive. That being said…
- new sights – I found it fun to see the new things people did to their homes or yards.
- quiet – sometimes I would be driving for so long before realizing that I hadn’t turned the music on. This was more common in the afternoons when I just needed to decompress.
- finding new routes – every so often I would turn down some random street to see if it got me to where I needed to go. Again, this was an after-work thing.

I miss the music part the most ..I use to take public transport..I knew which bus to take same time almost same bus ..and same co passengers..as it was luxury bus I use to get a seat always…take out my earphones..and for the next 30-45 mins (depending on traffic) I was deep down into the songs..that was my me time.

I got to listen to my classical music station and do a little deep thinking… often coming up with a poetry theme or a blog topic.

I wasn’t blogging back then so that never came to mind. I would think of story ideas then curse the fact that I had no way to write it down while driving and not knowing how to work the recording mechanism on my phone….while listening to music, lol!

I get the quiet part too; this was especially true when my kids were little.
Your list has several things in common with mine.
