I woke this morning, in a pleasant, peaceful environment. What day it is doesn’t matter.
This particular day does not require any major effort to get from five a.m. to ten p.m. It is a day during which I have no errands that have to be run, no set requirements on my time, no immediate responsibilities, no expectations to meet, and no work waiting for me to accomplish.
Maybe I “have it made.”
Maybe I have “the life of Riley.”
Maybe this is a day when nothing gets done and nothing seems to matter.
Maybe this kind of life is exciting. Maybe I love having time that is so flexible that I can do whatever I want or don’t want to do for hours on end.
Maybe I enjoy being able to choose when I want to be home alone or when to be out among other people.
Maybe I don’t like having to make that choice.
Maybe I am young and happy and these are marvelous times for me. Maybe I am old and lonely and these circumstances have been thrust upon me.
Maybe I should be more grateful for who I am, where I am, and the fact that I am here at all. What are your thoughts about what may be today?
