From the other side of the train

Sometimes I take the commuter train into work. It's typically on a Friday and usually in the summer to avoid the cottager traffic on the ride home. It's the dead of the never ending winter and I'm taking the train because BBE is picking me up at work and we're going to Toronto for a beerventure. 

I typically sit on the right hand side of the train facing forward in the last car. I get on the train at its second stop so I always get my pick of seats. I can't handle sitting backwards the entire trip and I chose the last car as it's where I jump off to walk to work. But sitting on the right side really is just habit so today I sat on the left. 

Wow the difference is spectacular. Firstly it's the sunny side of the train so I'm sitting here with my sunglasses on. Secondly it seems to be more scenic. Maybe I'm just used to the cows, farms and fields from the other side but this one has lakes and ponds as well. 

Maybe it's the new view, perhaps the sunshine, more likely seeing BBE early today and for the evening but it's made me smile and made for a great start to the day.
