My level of stress/tension goes down by a factor of 500 when I leave the city. Just knowing I am going to leave, cuts it in half. So with $3.15 cents in my cup holder, a diet coke, and a bag packed with books, at 11:00 a.m., I packed up my work bag and headed out of town. Yeah, I brought a whole bag of work with me, but, I'm not going to do any of it. It just makes me feel better to lug it around. It's like taking work home at 8:30 p.m. when I know damn well I am not going to do it.
So, 120 miles later, here I am at the farm with my nephew. He is just so damn cute. So cute. And of course, spending time with him makes me question everything, and I do mean everything.
Anyway, tonight at the animal auction, my sister-in-law's mom is going to buy my nephew a bunny! That will be fun!
By the way, have a beautiful and blessed day folks, okay now. Seriously. That's what the lady at the Taco Bell in Nowhere, Indiana said to me. Have a beautiful and blessed day. And I thought, if I worked at Taco Bell, I would never be able to muster such pleasantries, to anyone, ever. We should all be so kind to one another. Get with it people.
Today I am grateful for my job and that I am not working this weekend. And that I am with my nephew, who reminds me always to be present in the moment and that the thing right in front of you, is the most amazing.
