๐ each day ๐

is filled with opportunities either to escape reality or to show up and live. i am certainly not one of those guys who walk around on cloud nine accepting that no matter what comes my way, there is some divine plan for me and my life and in the long run, all will be well. i certainly used to be one off those guys that kept one eye looking over his shoulder, expecting the other shoe to drop at any time, making my life worse than it already was. somewhere between this two extremes, there is the Goldilocks spot, where everything is just right and i have just the right amount of concern for what may be going on in my life. this morning, i may not quite be there, but i am pretty damn close to that spot.
sitting here, doing the last thing i have the desire to do, before heading out for an afternoon in a smoke-filled room, i have that feeling that everything is alright in the here and now, my taxes are filed, i have a plan to water my lawn this afternoon, a ran ten kilometers in just over an hour, so i am on track for the Bolder Boulder and i only have three shifts to work this week. of course my spouse has alternate plans for my tax refunds and i think i will let her run with that, if she wants a new bathroom, she will have to do the work to get the estimates and work done. me, i wanted to spend that money on a vacation which means i will have to save up a bit of dough to do just that, depending on how much she wants to pitch in for the remodel.
i am more than content with how this day is going. i feel, well i am not sure how i feel. there certainly is no black cloud hanging over me. i have our Paul Simon tickets in hand. i made myself notes to go ask for some dates off and will do so. right now the runner''s high is starting to fade and i am starting to finally cool off, so i guess that means it is time to put this little exercise to bed and get on down the rod. it is a great day to sit and enjoy a cigar out of pure pleasure and relaxation.
