Summer was winding down. It was one of the last Mondays of the season and I took the day off. And the early morning weather was perfect.
I sat on my front steps sipping coffee and watching the world go to work. Traffic was backed up from the corner light and I could see all the people in their cars ready to go to work. They were all dressed up, most likely showered, smelling nice and rarin’ to go!
I was right out of bed, barefoot,wearing gym shorts and a t-shirt . My coffee was holding out.
Monday had left me behind. It and the rest of the world were getting on without me.
And that was a good thing!
