It's A Beautiful Day

·Mental Journey

On a day like today Dreary and gray I was complaining about everything From out of the blue My father stood next to me And said, “I was once like you, It was a day like today Dreary and gray I was complaining about everything Then the door opened Out came your grandpa To stand next to me He stretched out his arms Took a deep breath And said, ‘It’s a beautiful day!’ What’s so beautiful about it I said With out looking at me He said, ‘Because I woke up this morning.’ Then he turned and went inside To leave me to think about his words The more I thought about what he said, The more I realized, he is right, It’s a beautiful day!” This is a one hundred percent true story. I walked outside this morning and the grey world reminded me of this story and I wanted to share it with all of you. I hope it helps you as it did me.

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
