Yesterday was the first day in a week that I woke up without a headache weighing me down. Last week was rough, with stubborn headaches taking over my days and leaving me feeling inadequate. I couldn’t read or write as I had planned.
Despite the challenges, I still had a full week, and I’m satisfied with how it went. A little less pain would’ve made it wonderful. But here I am at the beginning of another week, ready to uncover the gifts it has for me.
Right now, I’m watching Murdoch Mysteries. I love shows set in another time period. It’s fascinating to see how far we’ve come in terms of comforts, inventions, and mindsets. Even more fascinating is the thought that it might not even take less than 50 years, or maybe even in 20 or 10 years, for today’s way of life to seem extremely limited.
If scientists like Newton, Einstein, Tesla, etc could visit Earth today, what would they think? What kind of supreme inventions might they create if exposed to the technologies we are using today? No wonder my head aches now and then. I watch TV shows and end up with such extraordinary thoughts. 🙂
But truly, reflecting on both the past and the future fills me with equal hope and excitement. And living in the present—that’s the icing on the cake. Sometimes, well, most of the time, I worry about the future. It feels endless. Yet the ever-positive, hopeless romantic in me somehow survives and thrives, much to my own surprise.
And that, I’d say, is good news. If the world can’t always provide me with good news to my liking, I might as well become the bringer of my own. Sounds fair, doesn’t it?
I keep saying Life is beautiful, hoping that one day, when I look back, I’ll see a trail of beautiful traces of a life well lived.
