Go ahead and make my day
Weaving distractions into our day
I see days like numbers, some are even others are odd. So Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or the evens with Monday, Wednesday and Sunday being the odd. In the sequence, Friday should also be odd though as it ends the week it is much too jubilant to be viewed as odd.
Cee informed me that she had made an appointment to see the Doctor this morning. My routine would be changed. I am not great at routine change unless it is something I am looking forward to. I like to ‘just get to’. If I have something to do I like to get to it and not be distracted along the way.
Some years ago a friend said we should welcome these uninvited distractions into our lives. I raised my mouth to that thought though did come to realise it is better to embrace distractions and weave them into the routine. So I weaved the Doctor into the routine.
Yesterday I had to weave the dentist into the routine and tomorrow a funeral. Life is not just about routines it is about sharing our lives and often those lives whether we need to tend to a matter relating to ourselves or others will require that the routine is set aside.
In the magic that life often creates those distractions become the very things that in the words of Clint Eastwood in Sudden Impact, “Make our day!”
