Sometimes, you have to move 800 miles to get a shorter commute. Before we moved, I drove about 20 miles each way to work. My husband drove more than 50 . . . each way. Now I work at home and drive infrequently. He drives 10-15 minutes down the road — maybe seven miles at the most?

And — get this — we’re recycling! Now, granted, I’m still not a believer especially since from my office window I have seen the garbage guys toss the recycling bin contents into the trash can, but we’re definitely putting the stuff out there.

I have also bought organic veggies. I’m rethinking that one a little bit.

All in all, we’re saving gallons of fossil fuels, a side effect of a major life decision we made in October. Aren’t you glad we’re here?
