Friday, January 20th.....a big day in the USA.
A quiet start for me. Heading off for my second cataract surgery this morning so I can't have coffee or breakfast....and that makes me just "slightly" irritable. No "Good Morning America" for me today and that adds to the irritation.......but I don't want to hear any of the noise of this particular day. I'll see enough with the talking heads at some point.
It's a grey morning, light rain when I tried to walk Fenway at 7:00.....so no deal. He hates the rain and literally put on the brakes and made me drag him toward a bush.
Back up at the computer desk my mood changed slowly......I made our monthly contribution to each of the college fund for our four grandsons and, as I do every month, realize how fortunate I am to be able to do so.
And I look out the window toward the bike path and see people walking their dogs.....maybe the rain is over and we can try Fenway again.
I see birds zipping around the bird feeder.....and yep, there's two of "our" deer up on the hill. While the lake is not it's usual beautiful shade of dark blue.....at least I can see it today, hiding below the mist and fog.
And I read Julie Zickfoose's blog entry and she always makes me appreciate the world around me. The small things......the things I might not notice at all if her view didn't "sharpen" mine. I wish she lived next door!
And just think.....after today's surgery my view of my world will be just a little clearer.....and a little brighter....and a little more focused on what to do tomorrow.
Linn, hope your surgery is successful and a speedy recovery.
