One of those days

Boy, what a day!

Someone cancelled my very own meeting as if to say, “Don’t take this the wrong way but I’d rather not talk to you today.” The gumption! The gall! The nerve! Well, here’s the truth. It is an absolutely lovely day and I don’t want to talk to them either! It's one of those miraculous springlike days in March. Everyone knows there will be more winter yet to come, but we don't care because the Earth is giving us a little gift to lift our spirits. It's that kind of day.

It’s a melting ice kind of day. It’s a drip, drip, drip of ice off the eavestrough kind of day. It’s a new bird in the tree kind of day. It’s a "wear a light jacket even if you have to go to your basement or attic to find a light jacket" kind of day. It’s a "wear shades to keep the sun out of your eyes" kind of day. It’s a squirrel grooming himself on the fence kind of day. It’s the kind of day when kids can’t help but shriek with laughter kind of day. It’s a shoe day. Not a boot day. Not a heavy coat day. It’s a cap day not a tuque day. It’s a bare hands in the sun day, not a glove day. All of this on a Tuesday?!

There’s birds returning home today. "The early bird got the worm and that bird was the first robin who's got the world by the tail today" kind of day. All the critters are atwitter and the sun is warm on your head kind of day. It’s a "toilet got clogged but I fixed it right away" day. All the bills are paid and the To Do's are done and the t's are crossed and i’s dotted with hearts. It’s a "I don’t care if I don’t have the correct change" day. It’s a snack day. It’s a cheat day. It’s a "I’m going to live my life the right kind of way" day. It’s an "everything’s going to be alright" day. It’s one of those "it really should be Friday" kind of days. It’s a "who will buy this wonderful morning, tie it up in a ribbon, and put it in a box for me" kind of day. It's a "I’ve got a wonderful feeling everything’s going my way" kind of day. It’s an "Oklahoma, the musical" kind of day. It’s a day with sway. It’s a get out of my way because I’m full of gratitude and nothing is going to stop me kind of day! That’s the kind of day it is.
