Reflection in the City

Today was one of those days, I was tired, hormonal, and overall just in a blah mood. It should have been a fun day, work actually had the potential of being fun- a lil errand to Target, a cake for Counseling Week, Panera Bread for lunch, and some silly kids. Instead it was me being in a emotional coma. I was going through the motions of the day but wasn't really living them.

On the way home I wanted nothing more then to get a bag of Doritos, watch some tv, and go to bed at 8:00. I had told myself that I was going to do some sort of physical activity. So before I could talk myself out of it, I laced up my running shoes and hit the pavement. I quickly was reminded of why I enjoyed strolling the streets of uptown. The simple sounds and sites of the city calm me.

I saw hotties clinging the ball at the softball field, uptowners walking their prized pets, and people enjoying a beverage on the patio.

Even though it was a dreary day both outdoors and in my soul, I instantly felt refreshed after 45 minutes of being in the moment. So tonight I turned off my ringer, and just really listened to my heart. I don't want to be in this meloncholy mood, I want to sieze the day and live every moment.

Life is too short not to be living in it!
