groundhog day

you know that movie with Bill Murray. when the day. happens. over and over. I feel like that. these days. I start the day. coffee. emails. facebook. shower. emails. errands. meetings. etc. etc. etc. the day ends. repeat.

then it happens. the occasional. lovely. ray of sunshine. when you come up for air. and breathe.

like Wednesday. when a co-worker. stopped by the house. and invited me to come sit. and savor her garden. so I grabbed my neighbor. and we went. and the hummingbirds buzzed. and the flowers bloomed. and the conversation flowed.

like yesterday. when my friend. who is now in remission from a long battle with colon cancer. called to go to lunch. and we met. and ate. and chatted. and laughed.

like last night. when I was supposed to attend a meeting. but instead. spent some happy. madcap. moments via Skype. with our grandson who turned two.

like tonight. when the hubs. and I. and friends. are headed out for happy hours.

the moral of this story. get out of the rut. the mundane. daily. routine. time flies. stop the madness. enjoy the moment. repeat.

'normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.'
