But What Now?

Ok, it’s way past my bedtime and I shouldn’t be thinking such deep thoughts. Instead I should be brushing my teeth and getting into bed!

But, it’s Friday night, I’m not tired and there’s all kinds of noise going on outside. I think I’ll refrain from sticking my head out the door for now, though.

My darling cat is sleeping peacefully in the chair next to me. She’s probably wondering when the heck I’m going to get up to bed, but then she’s in no hurry to get anywhere.

Ahhh, and there’s my revelation. My cat is in no hurry to get anywhere. I really believe that she is living from one moment to the other, blissfully unaware of time as I know it. What’s it like to be inside of my cat’s head??

Instead, my head is full of too much wine and chocolate, thoughts about what happened at work today and what I need to deal with come Monday and why isn’t is warmer outside yet? All my precious cat wants to do is go outside as soon as she sees a hint of sunshine (or not), sit in front of the fire, eat chicken, steak or salmon when it’s offered or just sleep and dream.

She probably doesn’t even experience hot flashes but I can’t know that for sure.

For now, for me, life is about transitioning to becoming self employed and gutting out the last 10 months of working at my current job.

And it’s about getting up every morning, brushing my teeth, putting on my tea, turning on my computer, working with my teams, helping out where I can, playing my guitar, learning new things and generally enjoying life as I know it moment to moment.

So, I guess that is life. Please tell me, what is life for you?
