I woke up this morning feeling quite refreshed. Yesterday was “one of those days” that everyone I talked to asked me if something was bothering me or if they did something. I had this overwhelming feeling of “in-between”. I hate that feeling of limbo, of waiting. I have no patience, whatsoever! If I want something, I must have it now. Sometimes that’s problematic.
This morning I feel quite different. I’m still impatiently waiting for the new changes to take place, but at least I know their coming. I’m impatiently waiting for the weather to turn warm again and stay that way for months rather than days or hours. I’m just ready to get a move on, but when I sit down and actually think about it, instead of tapping my foot and staring at my watch with a grimace on my face, I think I’ll just get up and enjoy what I do have right now, in this moment.
This morning he told me I looked beautiful (nevermind I actually look like a train wreck in the morning, I swear I slept like a very ugly log last night and woke up not looking much better…you know those marks you get on your arms and face when you sleep on something not-so-smooth? Yup, that was me). It was something so small but so sweet that I still can’t stop smiling about it. That’s not to say he’s not sweet all the time! Just for some reason, this morning it meant a little more.
Also the fact that right when I got back home from dropping him off at work, Boots came over and snuggled on my lap while I browsed my daily web-pages (Of course, number one was Jasmine Star). He’s so friggin cute! He has this undying desire to stalk me around the house and meow at me until I pick him up, then his insta-purr kicks in and he headbutts my chin sometimes not so gently. His curiosity is so amusing to watch.
Here’s Boots looking out the window at one of the last dumps of snow we’ll get. Of course, there’s going to be that one last kicker mid-April that everyone wakes up to and hits their forhead against the window inwardly screaming “WHYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!!?”
For now, I guess this is just a reminder to enjoy what you have. Stop and breath once in a while, and don’t get too caught up in what the future will bring. You have a lot of things surrounding you now that you’re missing.
