Today was a great day. The past week or so has been a little iffy and tough for me for a number of reasons, but today was as it should be. And a workday, even. Bonus.
It was one of those times when you are rewinding and revisiting past experiences, while at the same time creating new ones. It is amazing how much of my life I forget, especially as the years continue to pile on and it seems experiences begin to multiply exponentially. A road trip, with a purpose. That was today. The purpose - to do what we do in our line of work - fix things. The purpose was achieved, and by itself was a good day for the experience was new and I like new.
But the trip was a journey through time of days gone by. I found myself absorbed in the experience of living life through someone else's perspective, yet contemplative of my own journey. It made me think a lot, and take a moment of pause and reflection. It made me remember a lot of things and remind myself of my flaws and weaknesses. And mistakes. Sort of like watching a movie or reading a novel that is all too close to home.
So ponder and reflect. But mostly remember. I have come a long way, but the journey was not an easy one, and one I would not necessarily want to do over.
I get in such a rut so easily and accept what is as what should be. It is times like a great road trip that are great to stir up the pot a bit. Make me feel a little ill at ease and remember. I am who I am because of the experiences I have had, good and bad. I can get so easily derailed and sometimes a good road trip is just what might be needed to get back on track.
Today served that purpose for me. And all is not only what is....but is as it should be. Perfect timing for my husband to come home. Ahlan wa sahlan.
