This morning I actually ran early for work. My natural inclination was, "Great! Now I can get a head start and really get a lot done today!" But, as I walked by Millennium Park I thought about the garden that I had never visited and my soul nearly left from my chest with joy even thinking about spending some time there.
It wasn't the prettiest of mornings - the sky was a hazy overcast gray - but despite the lack of color in the sky, the flowers were a welcome sight. I spent about 20 minutes just really thinking about nothing but the bunny hopping away from the crowded street, the birds staring up at the office windows, the bees busy like factory workers on the purple flowers and the butterflies flittering around like usual morning jumps in the kitchen from coffee maker to toaster to fridge then to cabinet.
Funny how this morning's diversion has kept a smile on my face despite the deadlines and doldrums.
