Early this morning… a leaf dropped on my head.  I wasn’t even standing near a tree.  I knew today would be different.

Oh. But wait.  Every single day is different.
It would be pretty boring otherwise.  Some days are good, others are bad.  Heck…. somedays are a combination of both.

I had some really miserable moments today…. and some completely joyous moments…. and a bit of everything in between.  I am glad for it really.

You just never know what to expect.

A great thing on this day…. was a little time spent looking closely at nature.  It made me consider that which is both very small and very infinite.  Both are significant.

It was a day filled with full.

Another  for-instance…..  I had to good fortune to swim in our pool with great friends of ours.  It was fun.

About an hour later…. I had the misfortune of swimming in our Koi Pond, with our Koi Fish.  It was unexpected.   And cold.

You see… I fell in.

Now imagine my surprise when I took one misstep and fell in over my head.

Now…. imagine the surprise of the fish.

And so… it goes and goes.  Each day different.  With perspectives on every side of every occurrence.  That is how  our world goes around.  Sometimes we are on solid ground… and the next minute… we fall  in to the cold stinky water.

It was different, I”ll tell you.  Way different.
