A Typical Morning Mash

Driving into work today, I recollected how amazed I was at all that I had accomplished this morning before hitting the official homestretch on the way in to work. Getting the kids dressed, fed and delivered to school, (even one via bicycle trip), conversating with my wife - it was a nonstop series of tasks.

Then I was free of them and driving in to work on the city street and made observations:

Looking right, there were more bicyclists on their way to work, or a meeting or a coffee shop, or all three at once. They were in the element. Feeling the chilled morning air on the tips of their ears. Hearing the sounds of the city - automobiles, birds, passing conversations.

Could I bike into work, even occasionally?

There was a cop who had pulled some guy over and I caught myself checking to see what the guy was driving - like his car dictates who he is... and his circumstance - sigh.

 Could this have been me yesterday?

There were multiple moms with their kids standing on the corners waiting for the bus to arrive to take them to school. They had gotten themselves and their kids together and were shipping them off for lessons about calculations and reading and the art of writing.

Did I pack his afternoon snack?

I arrived into work - life is good one morning at a time.

Reminds me of this video:

Have I forgotten to take the meat out of the freezer?
