'Twas only a passing thought, my love,
Only a passing thought,
that came o'er my mind like a ray of the sun
in the ripples of waters caught...
~ Charles MacKay
This morning I awoke with the strangest thought on my mind. As much as I've tried to push it out of my head, busying myself with some compulsive housecleaning, I've held the fantasy all day. I smile at the thought and am growing more and more disturbed by it.
Mister mrtl wouldn't approve. Up until this waking thought, I wouldn't have approved. And today... Today my brain is working through the thoughts and not minding so much the unpleasantries involved. The preparations, the purchases, the responsibility, the commitment.
I'll have to sleep on it.
Baby?
Big holiday party?
No, BABY?!
Whatever it is, it makes you smile, so go for it. (Yes, I choose to focus on the smile and not the disturbance :)
