Life is Beautiful

Life works in a funny way, well, it does for me.  I just coast along and then I hit a speed-bump and it feels more like falling into a sink hole.  So, I whine to my best friends, they cheer me up, and I am ready to face the world.  Sometimes this routine lasts a day but sometimes it takes longer.  

Funny thing:  as much as I fight routines, I really need them.  I don't need to be totally locked into a rigid routine.  I need one that has some flexibility.  

Moment of Truth: I hate being bored and if I get too bored, I usually get into some kind of trouble.

Well, today was not boring and not too routine.  The sun wasn't visibly shining in the sky but it was shining.  This reminds me of the time Tim and I were out on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and we were driving as fast as we could to get to a certain point to watch and photograph the sunset.  The closer we got; the cloudier it became.  When we reached our destination, we met a few others couples who were doing the same thing-- chasing the sun.  I stood there looking at the sky and then I raised my camera and started taking pictures.  A woman looked at me as if I were crazy and she asked "What are you taking a picture of?"  I just looked at her, smiled, and told her I was taking a picture of the sunset.  She said, "The sunset isn't visible."  I nicely told her that what I see is what the sunset looks like at that present moment.  I am sure she thought I was crazy but she did say that she understood my logic.  When I downloaded my pictures and tweaked them a little bit, a sunset was revealed.  I don't have that picture on this computer so I can't show it to you.  If you think I am crazy, that's okay.  I am not crazy; I just look at the world through my own special lenses.

I can't read the fortunes, but I know they had to be good ones.

Today, the hidden sun shone upon me; my coffee was real tasty;I stayed focused on the road, drove with caution and made it safely to my destinations:  an interview at Joann's, a writing course, Costco for tires, and, between each of these I went home.

I got new tires and I feel more safe and confident on the road, I got the job so I feel like I am going to do okay, and the writing class was very enjoyable. I am looking forward to another great day tomorrow.
