I’ve come to not only learn, but accept that this is what
life is. I was driving to work this
morning after dropping the little gifts off at daycare, filling the tank with
gas, then joining the rest of the rats on the daily race down to work. It was a brilliant and sunny morning, but it’s
just such a mundane and repetitive task … monotonyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Then I thought about what a great weekend LML
and I just had. We try to take advantage
of every opportunity to be together and enjoy ourselves. I had to do a short work trip to Minneapolis, so
he took a day off, we had a coupon for a free short haul flight and he came
with me. It was fun to adventure the
Mall of America with him. Not to mention
I got to meet one of my working mom friends (my evil twin) that I’ve known for
8.5 years. I have bright, vivid neon
memories of hanging at that cool mall with them.
When we landed on Saturday, we took off downtown to meet
another old friend of mine. Richard and
LML love to talk craft beer, and they’ve even begun trading them. What was supposed to be an hour drink at
BarVolo, turned into a 4 hour visit there prior to heading out on transit for
some EPIC BBQ in Greek Town. I love it
when stars align and LML’s friend Derek who happened to be downtown joined
us. Again a brilliant flash of GREAT
TIMES OF LIFE.
My learning from this weekend is that yes, a lot of life is
the mundane boring stuff we have to do (commute, grocery shop, laundry, etc.)
but if you take every opportunity possible for those neon firework moments, you’ll
smile a lot more often during that traffic jam!
