introspection

One of those days where the world seems to whiz around you while you decide to slow down and observe it.... not because you are at leisure, but because you just realize you were going 100 miles an hour in a lane with a 10 mile speed limit.

• How your car appears magically clean every morning you step out
• How you don't give a thought to where the newspaper you pick up as you go about your daily business, came from
• The way your towel is clean, dry and hung up in the bathroom the night before you decide to jump in for a hot shower
• How you open your wardrobe every time and you find all your clothes washed, neatly pressed and sorted... smelling wonderful
• How your daily cups of coffee magically appear before you while you take a break from work
• How your credit card bills get paid with cheques that get picked up from your desk without any effort on your part

No... I'm not in some beautiful countryside stopping and smelling the roses on a warm sunny day that is flushed in scenic beauty...

Still I can't help but notice the magic in everyday life... at least I wish it was magic... 

One of the downsides to growing up is that you know that its not... that's why I am taking a moment to slowdown and appreciate it.
