The holidays are hurtling ahead of us, and there is much to do. Yet, this morning was so beautiful where I live that I just wanted to enjoy it and not consider my “To Do” list. I drove to the gym with the sun at my back and listened to holiday music on the radio. I made every light.
After swimming, I went for coffee and then returned home to start my work day. The sun continued to shine on me as I processed payroll, had meetings, tried to solve problems.
It was a wonderful day, despite the fact that the retail company I work for is struggling, that the economy at large is tenuous, and that the fiscal cliff is looming. I say it’s wonderful because there was nothing sinister that would happen today that would shake my world. So why not enjoy the beauty of the sun and soak up some of its energy for those days when we’re truly beset? They will come, but until then I choose a peace-filled day.
