A non conventional day...

Imagine you can choose to ignore your alarm clock. Eyes still closed you decide if you want to go to work now or later or not at all. Take your time to get ready. No rush to the station because you are not going to miss your train. You arrive at work, you can waste a few minutes drinking a latte macchiato and a cornetto around the pool, the sun warming your back, arguing with colleagues if we should buy CFR or FOB. Then you work, get stuff done. Lunch time is coming. Well, still nothing really inspiring at the canteen. After lunch back to the spring sun, sitting on the bench right in the middle of the daisies field, chatting. Work again. Later, you get to talk about your faith with your chief and he is enthusiastic, telling you "It is of no use of having people with good values in monasteries" and "It is difficult and courageous to assume different convictions in today's world". Whaouh! I was amazed! At 15:45 you leave the office, get the train back home and head to the park. You sit at the Umberto I monument and think "It's a beautiful day". The sun sets and you get annoyed by an homeless guy (that's common when you are alone in a public park in Rome). But you still think "What a beautiful day!". You have to go home, do some grocery shopping, cook, pay your rent... but you just have been convinced that even the smallest things prepare you for the future, so you say, "that's OK!".
