Sun City

Today is Wednesday February 3rd. Last night one of my favorite shows came on and I chose to sit and watch all 3 hours of it. Sheesh! I wanted to talk about my day yesterday. It was a great day.
The sun came out in the morning on my way to work so things were aglow. The buildings and trees all seemed to stretch and yawn at the sun as it warmed them up. The Park Blocks were so pretty. I need to share some photos I took. On my walk yesterday I saw a man walking down the street and I found myself not able to look away. He seemed to glide. It was like his feet didn't really touch the ground. I've never seen anything like it. And according to his clothes I'd have assumed he was a "strutter" but he glided. Amazing. I think most women would be envious of that glide, though we are required to do that in high heels.
At lunch i went out into the sunshine and sat in the park. As I was sitting there i saw a cute old lady coming very slowly up the hill past me. She seemed to be struggling to manage the incline and would stop to catch her breath here and there. When she got to me she stopped and I smiled at her. She sort of giggled and said "its hell to get old" I giggled a little and she said she was 87 and that her pace was slowing down these days. She was a funny lady.
I had a great discussion with a teacher from a school that teaches at an International Tour Guide School. As we talked I realized I was checking off my list of "requirements" for a "dream job". I did a work book last year that helped you put your finger on things you really like and would look for in a job that became your life work. Working at something you love doing, ideally. Well those who know me know that I've always been looking for that sort of thing. Its why I have had many jobs doing all sorts of things. But now it seems to be clearer all the time to me. Things I've done all my life, learned along the way, gone to counseling for. Its all here now looking me in the face saying "this is it"! Its fantastic!
So I'm signing up! I will go to school for 2 weeks and then get to work doing what I love. Traveling, teaching, researching, speaking in front of people. Its going to be great!
So today is another day, I wonder what it will hold.
