I'm happy that today is Wednesday and the weekend is in sight. It's exacty as the song goes "Everybody's working for the weekend". I sometimes feel like I am this little hamster that runs around the hamster wheel, gets off to sleep, and then gets right back on the next day. My dad always said "off to the rat race" before he left every morning when I was a kid. Sadly, I now understand. Monday and Tuesday are just days, but with the dawning of Wednesday, I know that I am on a downhill slide into Friday.
Given my nature, my weekend has already been sorted out, plotted and planned. It will involve two great loves of my life: Cooking and Horseback Riding. My mom is having a party for a friend who just graduated from Nursing School, and Chris and I have been asked to cook. That's Saturday. On Sunday, I'm going to meet Flash, the new horse in my life.
I always thought that moving back to Calgary would include never leaving my parents house, feeling redundant and pointless and me always yearning for somewhere else, doing something different. My weekend described above doesn't include any of those things. What a WOW! moment. Amazing what changing your glasses and changing your perspective can do for you. That's my goal for my today - Changing perspective. Taking the ordinary and looking at it from a different perspective and a different angle. How would things looked if you did the same thing?
Much ahead of you. What if we were just growing? What if all this stuff is just to grow, so we can one day teach our kids and grandkids how to grow? Or even other people? It is easy to see that once you go to a graduation, watch all those kids making the crazy mistakes you made. I sit back shrug and say "you will understand in time".
ReplyDeleteTime...it is baffling me today.
