"Against the grain should be a way of life. What's worth the price is worth the fight. Every second counts 'cause there's no second try. So live like you were living twice. Don't take the free ride in your own life."
- Nickelback
I've been in a Nickelback state of mind lately. Sometimes I listen to them because they're naughty. Sometimes I listen to them because they're angry. And, sometimes I listen to them because they're profound. -- a very well rounded group if you ask me.
Since, I'm a blogger, I'll just infer from your silence that you are pondering my deep thoughts here. I'll give you a minute.
I'd kind of like to think that I go against the grain from time to time. In many ways I am a bit of an odd duck. I definitely have a unique viewpoint on a number of things. But, at the core, I suppose I'm just like everyone else. I live. I work. I play. I dream.
So, tonight I ponder the question... "what if today was my last day?" As I look back I can say that I slept in til 7:45, showered, skipped breakfast, showed up 15 minutes late for work, had my head in my computer filtering leads all day, ate lunch at my desk, avoided work by chatting with a couple of friends, texted a few friends, helped a coworker come up with some creative text for a site visit, sat in rush hour traffic, watched some tv, had a great dinner prepared by my husband, watched some more tv and penned this blog.
What a snooze fest! I didn't do anything truly spectacular today. I didn't achieve world peace, fight hunger, or cure cancer. BUT, I was a productive employee, a good friend, and a loving wife. I hope that I wake up tomorrow with another chance to live life a little better than the day before. Fridays are the days we all get begin to enjoy the fruits of our week's labor.
Happy Friday Eve People!
Cheers!
