Some weeks are better than others. Then there are weeks that didn’t get the hint that they have over extended their stay and should have pack up their things long ago and moved out quietly in the middle of the night…without leaving a note.
Colonoscopy, funeral and layoffs were just some of the things the week packed for its visit. And instead of leaving quietly, it directed my iPhone into the closest body of water (that being a toilet) in which it quietly passed into iHeaven with a flicker. Nope. This week is not invited back…ever.
But as I sit here, Perspective has joined me for my cup of coffee, put his arm around me and gently reminded me that this was nothing. All that happened to me this week was a blog post, a Tweet, a Facebook status, nothing more. My colonoscopy, however scary, went fine. Clean as a whistle, and I got to experience great anesthesia. The funeral*, however sad, made me realize how incredibly blessed I am and could only dream to have touched as many lives such as the ones who came to show their respect. And the layoffs, however much deemed necessary and however painful it is to watch, were not for members of my household. And the iPhone…it’s a technological extension of my life, not life itself.
Will Perspective and I join hands and try to change the world today? Probably not.
Will I shut-up about the next time I have a zit of a week? Indeed.
*It occurred to me, based on the subject of a recent post, that you may think my friend did not make it through her surgery. It is not that friend. No connection.
