A Day of Travel

              Today I woke up at 6, washed myself, clothed my self, packed my bags and headed for a day that I knew was a terrible miserable day.  Yet, I got myself ready, I knew I needed to go and even as bad as it my be, it was my responsibility to head home.  So I did I got on that train and headed to the Amtrak station. There I waited for three hours till my train came hoping, hoping that maybe today it wouldn't be so crowded.  Last yea I barely even found a seat.  To my surprise I found four seats open facing each other and i quickly grabbed a seat with a friend of mine.  I was excited for a moment to find this seat, grateful.  But, it was short lived, the train was once over filled, and I saw others once again with the same problem I had last year.  We realized we could not hog these seats and must allow others to sit with us.  Out of compassion we did, we suffered squished our legs together and didn't move for four hours.
          I'm not trying to tell you a story about why I'm a great person, because I'm not one.  But, I'd like all of you to remember that as you may be miserable as you travel through this holiday, others will most likely be just as miserable as you.
