I’m not
usually the happiest person in the world, but one thing that definitely helps
is something very few people know about.
I have a great fondness for owls. Maybe not owls in general, but one
particular owl. For whatever reason it brightens my day. It is a rare occasion
that I get to see it, but I know exactly who he is. I saw that owl this morning early while
driving to take Charleigh Joe to daycare.
I have had a
pretty bad run lately of having bad luck.
I’ve been broke, learning a new job, adjusting to Jeremy’s new job and
him not being available. It has just been stressful. When I saw my owl this
morning, I knew my luck was about to change.
Earlier in
the week, while I had no money, I ran out of gas on the side of Highway 111
with Charleigh Joe still in the car.
Luckily my friend Nick was awake and gracious enough to help me
out. Later that day, I decided that I
would go out at lunch and use my last few dollars to get gas, I ran out before
I could make it to the filling station. Yes, out of gas twice in one day….I
have not slept well this week, I don’t feel like I have spent any time with
anyone.
Well, today
I just knew that my luck was turning around but soon I just realized that the
only thing turning around was a THP 0fficer pursuing me for a speeding ticket.
Crap, I didn’t even try to talk my way out of it. I guess I’m just glad he
didn’t shoot me or anything. Now that I
had 3 bad incidents (bad comes in 3’s) I had hoped for better days ahead. I know
they are coming.
The weather
was just perfect on my drive home I had the sunroof open and the radio blasting
The Stroke, Billy Squire. I felt like
Billy Madison on his first day of high school. I pulled up at the stoplight
feeling great and something to my left caught my eye… I finally realized it was
a feather, like the one on Forrest Gump. Forrest always seemed to have a good
ending and I watched the feather fly away, mesmerized and lost in thought. Now I was positive that things were going to
get better.
I’m glad
that I had a few minutes of peace before I realized that I was riding behind a
chicken truck…
