not just another day ...


Do you ever hear a little voice inside your head that says once in a while: you are having a perfect day ?   When that happens, C-fantastique don't you think ?   The day is not over and yet, I've just heard that voice in my head.  It started out early morning, waiting with the kids at the end of our drive-way for the big yellow bus to arrive.  And when it did, both kids were smiling and happy to tackle another day at school .  The day continues with my morning news on CBC radio while drinking a cup of orange juice and a rich and creamy cup of coffee.   Having some time on your hands is so precious these days.  This was a morning like that.  At just about 11 am, I arrived at the salon to get my haircut and to my surprise, my wonderful hairdresser is the only one in the salon on Tuesday mornings! The other hairdressers don't come in before noon on Tuesdays !   So, it was just me, my hairdresser and a couple of laughs from our taking turns telling life stories .  When you have the chance to get your hair done, It really does a world of good , C-fantastique!   It's spending a little bit of time on you and hearing that little voice saying:  mmm..mm..mmm girl.. you are so worth it .   Coming home afterwards,  I take the time to call  a friend to touch base and get some news, and after our conversation , I feel like a million bucks because I know that my call made a difference for my friend today .  It was perfect timing .      Next up is something I love to do a couple of times per week . Having lunch with my lovely husband .  For a November day, the sun was particularly warm on the face.  We chose a window seat because the rays of sunshine were just beeming through and we could feel our bodies refuelling on vitamine D !   I don't remember the conversation, but clearly remember the feeling of being with one another, even if it was only for 30 minutes .   It is so nice to take it all in and appreciate the time we have together.    Because the afternoon weather was above normal for this time of year , I knew that I had to get out and play.  So, I booted myself in  my power walking gear and headed out to get my heart rate up .   Listen, I'm not one for power walking every single day , but not doing it on a beautiful day like today makes me feel guilty , so I really had no good excuse to not get it on.   There I was, walking full speed ahead with some cool house music in my ears and the sun shining on my face .  At that moment, the little voice in my head spoke again : you know you're havin' a perfect day honey so keep on walking and don't stop until you get it on!   I have it on , I have it on already ; I replied!   Then and there, I wanted the feeling to never end .  It's a good thing the day is not over.  One thing I am sure of :  there is much more to come. This is not just another day.  Later gators !  Hope you have your perfect day soon .
