Great looking ride. Was it H.L. Menken who said a bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office! Lots of people make the mistake of picking up a beater to commute on. It's been 3 1/2 years since I retired and I still have good memories of my commute, which, like yours was about an hour each way. Over time I carved out the best route and the best bike and ended up logging a lot of hours and a lot of miles commuting. I doubt I would remember those miles so fondly if the bike hadn't been a joy to ride.
Keep the rubber side down, rest when you need to, and enjoy the present moment.
