Today is one of those days.

There are moments in life that seem to drag by, days that seem to last forever and seasons that seem to be endless. Today was up and down. It started off with a fantastic run which was followed by a great time grocery shopping with my mom and then joining my love for lunch. We laughed a lot and talked a lot more but shortly after heading back to my apartment my mood switched. A conversation brought me to a place of thinking and I haven’t really left it. It’s just been a strange, endless day.

So I decided to write. Normally my posts are filled with tremendous purpose (at least from my point of view) and more often than not I have some deep thought to share with everyone. Today I don’t have that, I just want to write.

I sometime think about what my life would be like if I did all of the things I wonder about doing. For instance:

• What if I started a magazine about real people? A magazine that shared stories of men, women, and teenagers all living in the real world, dealing with real things and working toward real goals? Do you think it would be inspiring? 
• What if I wrote a romantic comedy (starring non-other than Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, though she would need to get her upper lip reduced)? I would set it in a small town rather than the big city. She would most likely be a school teacher, senior high of course, and he I think would be an author. They’d meet at parent teacher conferences (she wouldn’t be the teacher of one of his kids), and she’d recognize him from the “About the Author” section she notices every time she finished one of his books. I’d insert this line in it somewhere: “You have captivated me with your words, your smile and your heart”, something of course he would say to her (ironic right?) and the movie would end with them holding hands, that’s it (a tribute to Sleepless in Seattle). Yea, that’s the movie I would write.
• What if I actually got up early every morning and had a morning routine? I don’t know if I could ever get caught up in something like that. It sounds so appealing though doesn’t it? Waking to the sun shining on white-cotton sheets, starting the coffee as you head to the gym, cleaning up a bit and eating breakfast, watching the local news, and reading a bit all before 9:00 o’clock. I think it would make for a boring evening don’t you?

I know. It’s a little scattered today, but in my “by myself, barnes and noble, jimmy johns, starbucks, reading and writing kind of day, that is where I am at. To be honest, I was pretty thrilled when I walked into get a coffee today because they brewed a 3 Regions Blend for me and I finally got to sit in the spot I’ve always wanted to sit.

I enjoy the simple things I suppose you could say. Things like missing my girlfriend when she is at work, reminiscing about being a kid and dreaming of one day having my own and having my preference of coffee brewed for me without question.

Today was a writing day. So I wrote.
