October Rain~

If people could be colors today this would be me. Nothing too splashy. But a little excitement, a splash of color in the otherwise gray and drizzling background. This morning I traded my much loved and valued sleep for an early morning. Sure I had to get to work early and I wasn't sure I could quite pull it off. So I forced myself to think about how early I had to be up at 'em, how much time I needed and tricked myself into even less sleep and heard the screams of the alarm going off at 5 am.


But a strange thing happened on my walk to the coffee pot. Instead of my typical groggy walk I had a little spring in my step, and I noticed a little smile before I could stop myself. What had happened to my normal grouchy morning routine? And who had replaced my cynical outlook on life and traded it with this....this gleeful girl? I decided to roll with it....and found myself at Starbucks enjoying a Pumpkin latte (who cares about calories anyway?) and my book.

People were rushing in and out on the way to their busy days and I got the chance to just sit, sip and daydream about life. Ponder who these people really were and where they were headed off to with their caffeine. My time passed too quickly and soon I had to wake from this real-life dream and go to work.

But not before getting just one more cup of coffee for the road...
