Where New Writers Find Their Voice

Mundane

As we go through our day to day lives, sometimes we take the days for granted, worry not this not a "protect the precious moments, savor each day" speech. This is just a brief note, on how things can change your whole schedule. A routine has been established, go to work, do errands, replenish our energies with food and sleep, a bit of fun before off to work again.
This seems mundane. I am very aware and long for those days again. I have not had a "routine day" since the first part of July. It is now the end of August and don't see anything changing for a bit. I long for the routine and mundane. A day when the phone does not ring, and rock my world, a day when I do not need to do something, ten minutes ago. Sometimes I wonder, why? Why me, why did all these things happen now? What do I need to do to change the process of me running in circles? Trying to answer those questions does pre-occupy my time in a semi-constructive manner.
There are days when a brief hair-pulling does help as well (meant literally not actually), oh and how I can I forget, my favorite stress friend, pacing the floors. I love to pace, makes me feel busy and productive. I am not sure how, but it does help.

I know the mundane will come, the routine will re-enter my life. I long for those days. I will welcome them with open arms and remember the past days of Chaos, breathe a sigh of relief they are behind me. Be mindful, they could return at any time, in the blink of an eye. When those good times come back, I will not be looking over my shoulder, I will be running ahead and then I will be savoring every moment.
