Why, you ask?
Because.
Incredible things happen every day, every single day. Little miracles unfold in front of us all the time. Sometimes they happen to us, sometimes we are meant to witness them. Thing is, we're usually too busy or preoccupied with everyday life that we miss them. All the time. We're too focused on how much our job sucks, or how we haven't had a girlfriend in 10 months, or how we stopped chasing our dreams and left them by the side of the road miles ago. In reality, though, all that doesn't matter. Even the shittiest of days has at least one bright spark of wonder grace us with its presence. In fact, the shittier the day you have, the brighter that spark's gonna be. So be ready. Could be right as you wake up, could be right before you go to bed, or it could be lost somewhere in-between. You gotta be prepared for it. If you head into your day knowing it won't be anything but crap, all you're gonna see is crap. But if you want to see something truly amazing, you increase your chances to experience it exponentially. Lose your inhibitions, drop your expectations, and just know that it will happen.
Don't miss it.

I'm waiting for it, Kev. I'm expecting it.
Are you going to show up at my door?
Is anyone?
Oh, how true. So what incredible little miracle(s) inspired this post? Inquiring minds want to know!
I hate Mondays. I've grown to fucking despise them. People at Saks know to give me space when I stalk the floor, and hopefully they've learned to take my cold, harsh demeanor as nothing too personal. Mondays are payroll days at Saks, and I have to deal with every missed punch, every last-minute vacation day, etc., all after having just closed Starbucks the night before. The last thing I want to do is work Monday morning.
Come Tuesday the furor has died down and I have to learn to make the best of going back to work. Every morning I pass Maitreya Buddha sitting and smiling on my altar. His everpresent grin helps to remind me that everything must be taken with a joyous mind. I used to have it in my head that something incredible is going to happen today, but I have the hardest time keeping it. Tuesday I really needed it. And it's so true. And it helped to turn the tide from a painstakingly tedious trudge through the aisles at my desk to a bouncy, bubbly, when's-the-fireworks-gonna-start kinda day, at least internally. I wrote it all out to remind myself. Glad to see it reflected well.
