So, Taki is chasing flies tonight. She has actually been running around trying new jumps and new experiences today, and did so yesterday. Tonight, she is chasing flies. She is very active and seems to be having a good time at it.
Sometimes, I think I chase flies. I flit from thing to thing, trying to get things accomplished, but not really finishing anything, rather aimlessly. My vacation has been like that, since I returned from New England. Well, not totally. I did accomplish some things. But a large portion of my time was spent flitting, doing things I like: reading, playing on the computer, sitting in the back yard, but not actually accomplishing any one thing concretely. But moving, whether or not, aimlessly. Enjoying the aimlessness of it. With only a twinge of guilt at not being more productive or accomplishing more.
That is okay. My big goal for the next couple of days is to attend at least one Memorial Day ceremony. Years ago, it would not have mattered. But my reverence for those who protect us, whether in the military, the police, the fire department, the jails and prisons, has escalated exponentially in the last 4 or 5 years. I was slow to grow the appreciation, but it is there above and beyond, now. Honoring those who serve is nothing like chasing flies.
