Nothings gonna' change my world

I woke up to a burning throat this am; a slow incineration overnight, a sad realization that mother's faith in airborne did not work. However I am one of those folks that pretend their not sick when they truly are. So today I cleaned the garage, the house, got groceries, and hit up the hardware store - all with my lovely of course. He is my own personal cough medicine, after all.
This afternoon admist cleaning I perused the interweb. I came across this quote in a fantastic blog - 'someday you will miss today.' I stared at the computer screen with awe - so simple, yet so true. I walked over to our dining room window, coffee in hand. I caught a doe chomping on grass through the fresh powder than coated our property overnight. I can't quite explain the peace I felt in that moment, knowing how true that quote surely is.
I've always looked forward, yearning for what's next. But today I realized - what's the harm in relishing the current affair of your life? I can gaurantee I will miss today, someday.
So to appreciate this someday memory, I trekked the property, taking in the supposed 'winter storm' of Western Oregon '11 (a whopping 3 inches that closed county schools, yo).
