The thoughts that were triggered from a simple lighter in the early morning baffled my breath so that the words coming from my lips were like a skipping cd. I can't believe how far I have come. I can't believe the things I have done. How did I get here? This morning with the apple and lighter made me realize how lucky I am to be who I am and be what I want to be. Simplicity in the shadows of our daily routines help us survive onto the next. I am a slave to the ill receiving of simple fortunes. I do not stop to ponder or to look anymore. I only stop when it is red and speed up at the yellow for fear of stopping altogether. I am not alone in this disease.
One positive that can be taken from the apple/lighter incident this morning is I have learned that the days in life grow in volume but wilt in quality. Many days are spent in the grind for the almighty dollar and beauty is easily forgotten or taken for granted. Now as I continue my routine tomorrow morning I have decided that I am going to take a different route. Even if I have to leave a bit earlier. Who knows, maybe I will find some aluminum foil on the way to make me smile and brighten my day.
