Today was just one of those days when I just didn't want to go to work. My heart was elsewhere. I don't know where, but not at Bradford. This typically happens on the week that I have to work Saturday. I just dread going into a six day work week. The hump day is a long time coming.
In other news, I visited Melly at the cupcake shop. Such a happy little place. I went to have lunch with her, but first sat in the little sitting area and people watched. Talk about lessons in people interactions. I guess what struck me the most is what a rich nation I live in. I've recently watched two documentaries: "God grew tired of us" and "Born into brothels." I was struck by the poverty and the fact that those children grew up in such terrible environments. I was struck on Saturday of the good fortune of so many children being taken out for a cupcake on a warm afternoon with friends and family. I often forget how good I have it in America. I probably don't even truly understand how good I have it. Watching a documentary or even visiting a place doesn't make the glimpse a reality.
