AND I ALMOST MADE A CLEAN GET AWAY

Today I went through what I consider for me a perfect day. I could almost feel the wind at my back.

I took care of some cruddy banking business first off but did not let it overshadow my day. I went to the nursing home to surprise Rich. For some reason I do feel like the den mother on that floor, but I also felt like any goodness that I have ever put out to the universe in my lifetime was coming back to me a hundred fold.

Rich introduced me to his newest roommate as his "girlfriend." For whatever reason, I chose then to bring Rich to task. I asked Rich to refer to me as his lady friend, not his girlfriend. Girlfriend sounds so high school to me. The new roommate was gracious but out of the side of his mouth said to Rich "Oh ya, she's a girlfriend." and instantly I saw my bossy side.

I left the nursing home in time to take myself out to dinner overlooking a golf course as they played my favorite Perry Como song, thinking does it ever get any better than this? I was just 5 minutes from home when I blew a tire. I called AAA and they did send someone out to change the tire, but I found myself apologising for the over full trunk as I still feel like a nomad.

I had to call Rich as he wanted me to call when I got home and getting home was being delayed. Again, we were both laughing as I said I almost had a clean get away in having a perfect day until the tire blew. Then I realised, that it was a perfect day for me. For whatever reason, I have been wired that any day with laughter is a perfect day...at least for me.

Wishing you all that perfect day.

XOXOXO,

Duckie

	··¤ SETHwrote: Don’t we just love them? The perfect days when everything we do flows easily and effortlessly. For myself, these days DO NOT come around often. Do you ever notice how serious you get about life? Whether it’s relationship drama, money woes or finding a parking spot, most of us contract like a sphincter the moment life shows up a bit different than we expect. And incase you haven’t noticed, life doesn’t care how you expect it to go. Really. Life does it’s own thing. And let’s not forget, we all end up the same way: dead. Not to be morbid, but since we already know the ultimate outcome, we might as well have a good time while we’re here, right? And frankly, most people I know who have a sense of lightheartedness about life are making a much bigger difference in the world than those who are seriously trying to get through it. Cheers to you Wonderful........ Oct. 8
	Michellewrote: Most of us tend to always think that blown tires and things like cutting our finger makes for a bad day... but if you put it all in context like listing all the good on one side and then the bad on the other...I bet we could come up 10-1, which should, like you say be considered a perfect day...I have to keep reminding myself of that some days...especially yesterday...I cut my finger...LOL Glad you ended the day with laughing...I am gonna take that lesson from you... Grace to you Shell Oct. 8
