Life’s Weird – Part 2

It’s amazing how easy it is for me to get stuck in a rut after a while. It’s not difficult for me to spend an entire week with each day feeling basically the same. Wake up, get ready for work, drive to work, work on the same project as the day before and then head home. The next day starting and ending with similar occurrences, leaving me with similar feelings. And I don’t mean in a bad way, just the same.

The weird part is no day is ever the same. I’ll never experience the same day twice, none of us will, but our mind can sometimes make us feel as though we do – or at least mine does.

Today was one of those days.

I got out of bed at the same time I do every Monday. Another week starting the same way. Another day starting earlier than I’d like. Another day getting ready as politely and quietly as I can – my wife and I aren’t morning people.

Except today was different.

The next step is usually a quick kiss goodbye and a walk out to my truck to leave just a few minutes before her. But today there was no kiss goodbye. Today we walked out the front door together, we both got in her car and we left to go to her work at the hospital – except today wasn’t work, we were headed to my first MRI. It’s amazing that somehow this felt normal, like the everyday routine, and I am blessed that it did. It made today so much easier.

Life’s weird – that routine feeling that often annoyed me just months ago is what made today so much better.
