Perspective

I live in a tiny town. However, we live 10 miles from a "city." It is a small city but a city none the less! There are several train lines that run through the city. They are not crazy busy train lines but a train usually comes through several times a day (on the different lines).

Yesterday Sammy and I were on our way to meet Tim at his office. As I am coming down a hill I see the crossing arms started coming down. I was annoyed to say the least. I would have to drive several miles out of the way to be able to cross over the tracks. I was the 2nd car from the trains making it hard to turn around if I had wanted to.

As I was debating this and becoming annoyed with the delay Sammy spotted the train! He got super excited to see this long cargo train. I thought to myself well I have a few minutes of excitement before it gets old. However, since he was so excited I sat there. Sammy telling me all about the choo choo as he calls them. Sammy remained excited as all of the graffiti cargo cars zoomed past on the railroad tracks. He called my name to tell me about the train at least 30 times. It was then I realized its all about our perspective!
