The Perfect Day

What is a perfect day for you?

For some I imagine it a day full of unbelievable surprises like winning the lottery, or giving birth, or meeting your soul mate, or finding your inner strong self.  I suppose it could be a raise at work or recognition for a job well done or maybe just not getting caught in the wide arc of fecal material after it hit the rotary blades.

For those with devastating illnesses or acute/chronic pain or heartache it could just be a day where nothing gets worse than it already is and you have the strength to just be.

What is a perfect day for you?

Me? I had one of those days yesterday and the one word to describe the perfection? It flowed. No bumps, no tantrums, no surprises. It flowed and felt smooth. I surprised myself when this thought occurred to me last evening. No drama. A welcome peace. I imagine my description of a perfect day even a year ago would have been different.

It's been an interesting time adjusting to 'retirement' after a long career in nursing. Forty odd years actually and the challenge has been to try and figure out who I am. It seems that for the largest part of my life I have defined myself as a nurse. More so than a mother, wife etc - you know all those tags we hang on ourselves and for what reason? I am still learning, still searching, and still evolving I guess. At first it all seemed a little confusing, trying to sort out the what and the who and the like. Now it has become a great adventure. I have so many wonderful models that I have met here on Wordpress. It is amazing how close you can feel to those who brave the pages each day or week or month to share a little of themselves.

  1. I love it when those days flow. They are magic! They are…flowing. May your day flow today and tomorrow and the next day.

  3. A perfect day
    Chris – there is something perfect in every day but a whole perfect day. Lucky you. Enjoy.
    I am catching up on reading blogs so am working backwards. Please bear with me.

  4. Perfect day… Never had one. Closest thing would be a day where I feel I lived something close to my purpose. Maybe a day I managed to teach somebody something when I didn’t even realize I was doing it.

  5. Going for a nice long walk with my honey, enjoying the scent of honeysuckle in the air, then grilling steaks and sharing a bottle of wine. Cheers to perfect days!

  6. I’m glad to hear of your perfect day. My perfect day? I like your description “no bumps, no tantrums no surprises”. I suppose being joyful with what I am doing all day, family and friends interactions, biking, feeling physically well and emotionally balanced (a very good treat indeed!).

  7. A peaceful day is a great start for me… ;-) I’m finally catching up again on blog posts. Thanks for your patience! :-)

  8. Wow, I remember when I was very, very sick and a good day was one when I didn’t want to die. Thank God I have haven’t felt that way in years.
    Hugs,
    Kathy
