Thank God for the red light

I normally am not too excited about getting stopped by the red light. However...
when I was stopped this morning, suddenly one beauty of the changed color of the leaves just caught my eyes.
and I was awed by its beauty
and I realized that there are always things to be appreciated in every moment
which I must have missed--so many of them
because I just didn't like the red light

But why do I not like the red light?
It is because I have a destination to go, and the red light will prevent me to get there early enough
So, that's something I might need to examine.
Why do I want to get there that early enough (do I really...?)
Maybe not, so maybe the red light is not really something against my purpose
I don't need to be so negative about red light

Maybe because I am too much caught up with one goal (kind of vague understanding about one goal), which might prevent me to see things from different perspectives, causing me to lose many chance to appreciate things

and besides that, the red light might even be protecting me from getting into any possible trouble

Anyway, the red light at least this morning prompted me to think about what to appreciate
so, thank God for the red light!
