Breathe

Its a good day to be breathing. Actually a great day to be breathing.

There are some days when you really wish that your alarm would die a sudden and horrible death. Then there are those that the alarm, while not your friend, is much easier to accept as a reminder that you have a day to greet.

Today was a greet the day kind of day. Amazingly enough, it has been that way all day. Despite the return to overcast weather, it has just been a productive day. All the worries and concerns, were no problem, they could just be discarded. Anything that I would normally pause over with concern has been easily hurdled.

Can't help but wonder, why some days are just easier that way. Is my moon in the seventh house? Has Mercury aligned with Mars? Or did I just manage to have a great hair day? Nope, checked the mirror, that last idea is completely off base.

I guess it really comes down to internal chemistry. Sometimes your body just tells you, "Chill, relax, enjoy this". And if you listen, it works. Everything pulls together and even the boring or normally irritating elements of the day seem to float past with nothing more than a vague recognition.

If I could capture this elemental attribute of days like this - if I could find a way to greet each day this way, I think I could define nirvana. Its not really having everything be perfect. Its more like being perfectly fine with the way everything is.

And of course if I could find a way to duplicate it, bottle it so it fit other people as well, then I could share it with the world. I could either be the next Bill Gates or I could just settle for making the world a much happier place. Either way I think I would be richer than my wildest dreams. Personally, I think the latter choice would be the more satisfying.

So how about you? When you think about it - if you could live each day just being perfectly fine with your world as it is - would you share that secret with the world? Would you do it for free?

Just wondering -
