So, yesterday, I was cruising down Haven’s Corners, listening to an upbeat song in my car. When I listen to upbeat songs, I want to drive fast. Imagine my irritation when traffic came to a grinding halt. Grrr.

Then I noticed WHY traffic had stopped. Two beautiful swans were slowly crossing the road. Big and white, with orange beaks tinted with black, these two birds made their way across the road. A huge smile broke out across my face. What touched me was that not only did someone take time out of their busy commute to let these gorgeous creatures of God saunter across the road, but that I looked into the cars of the people who could see. All had huge smiles on their faces.

What did I learn from this? I’m not sure. But it was cool.
