I have a 1 hour commute to work, which means a 1 hour commute from work. It used to be so boring, but then I started downloading podcast of various preachers like John Piper, Brian Borgman, S Lewis Johnson, Tim Conway, Paul Washer, etc and I've found a way to make something that was mundane and turn it into one of my most exciting times of the day.

Also, sunsets are pretty mundane to a lot of people because you see one just about every night. I love to go sit out on the back porch and watch the sun go down. I love to see the splendor of God's creation reflected in the hues of the sky and the color upon the clouds.

We take so much for granted, which is what I think your article is driving at. As they say, sometimes it is nice to stop and smell the roses, or as is the case were I live, the occasional skunk.
