This morning is a typical Tuesday morning as I make my daily commute to work. The blue sky is bright with sun‚ but it is a brisk New England winter morning. As I drive down the highway drinking my coffee‚ I scan through the radio stations looking for my favorite songs desperately trying to get motivated for the day ahead.
