Life In The Fast Lane

It takes big events in your life to make you feel like life is just flying by. Going to high school. Going to college. Graduating from college. Finding a job. Which leads me to think, do we just take the mundane things that happen in life for granted? Why does life seem slower when we're just cruising from day to day? I offer a notion that perhaps we just don't stop to smell the roses anymore. Who has times these days, right? I have to get this errand done, turn in this, attend that meeting, etc. I wish there would be days in my life where I can go to sleep and say to myself, today was a good -- no, great day. And to say that without having anything extraordinary happen.

Couple of years ago, I started this thing called my day-maker. What did I do or see today that made today special? I hope to be reminded of my day-maker every time I visit my blog and to share that with you. Today's day maker was seeing Penny purr at my feet when I walked in through the front door. And unlike other times, her catfood bowl was full.
