On my way

Dear friends,
I wonder what it'd be like to watch a movie that portrayed the common place things we do everyday...
the routines, the same parking space our cars occupy, the same faces, the same sayings and conversations, the embarrassing tripping over our own two feet that we hope no one saw, the Monday mornings...you know so well how it all goes. So much of life is this, the practical everyday things we have to do. Not so interesting is it? What happened to all the tragedy, heartache, drama, Grey's Anatomy soundtrack playing overhead, lovesickness, confusion and of course the final happy resolution (according to American films)?

I have no clue...however I'll tell you about my drive to work this morning...
It's about a 20 minute commute to work on a highway where I first pass lots of shops and a car lot. I spot the cop hiding out in the bushes and feel at ease with my speed limit since I've gotten so used to taking that route my foot naturally rests on 60-62ish. Then I veer left for my route.

Lately, there have been many wildfires about in these areas so I've witnessed lots of blackened terrain. It's sad really. It seems so spoiled and there is absolutely nothing you can do with it. However, on my drive today I noticed just after some rain we've had, splotches of green taking over those areas and it made me smile. How quickly a terribly looking area can become hopeful again.

I'm trekking on and pass exit 7. At this point, there is a slight hill that I pass and I overlook a huge field...I can't even see the end of it. It's golden as ever at this time. I have no idea what it is...I just think wheat or something. Whatever the case, it's an impeccable sight and every time I come near this exit I forget what troublesome thoughts are on my mind and just gaze.

I drive on and then eventually come to my exit and then work.

It's not the most exiting blockbuster filled adventure ever I'll admit, but that's life...you know, the everyday kinds of things. Regardless of any circumstance, always look around and gaze for a second. You'll laugh and forget the thought and then something else common will happen, you'll laugh and forget the thought once more and everyday begins again and again.
