Enjoying

I don't use the word perfect often. But, what a perfect day.

Coffee with Mom at my favorite coffee house this morning. A trip to the newly re-opened farmers market, where I found some great shiitakes. Off to the gym to treadmill for 40 minutes. A quick shower and change and off to the Food Bank to VAP.

A quick stop by work to return a few e-mails, a quick stop at the grocery store, and maybe the liquor store.

Then an afternoon of reading on my patio in the sun, listen to a baseball game across the street.

Perfect.

I has occurred to me recently to really enjoy these days. Not just the perfect ones like today, but this time period in my life. I realize, at least in fleeting moments, that these are the days I will look back on fondly someday. The days when I was single and didn't have kids. The days I could spend any way I wanted to. The days when there wasn't someone at home waiting for me. I know I'll look back someday and miss days like today.
