I was sitting here at my desk today, working on some papers, when I looked up for a minute and something caught my eye right outside my window..
It was very bright - much brighter than any light bulb I had ever seen and I was very puzzled by it.. I knew it wasn't a fire - no smoke and no sirens.. Couldn't be lightning because it lasted too long.. Surely not a star because it was broad daylight.. I was mesmerized by it - yet somewhat hesitant to check it out.. It was so gosh darn bright!!
After a bit, I got up and slowly walked from my chair to the door.. Very cautiously, I stepped out on to my porch and attempted to get a better look.. It was too bright though and without any conscious effort, my eyes veered away.. Suddenly I got this very creepy, uneasy feeling and started to shake a bit.. I haven't been feeling all that great this week and the thought crossed my mind that perhaps this could be one of those "out of body" experiences.. You know - the whole "follow the light" thing.. Part of me did want to follow the light - but the other part of me just wanted to scurry back inside..
I don't know how long I stood there - one foot outside and one foot inside.. Seemed like an eternity.. Finally I just made up my mind that whatever it was, I was bigger and I was stronger!! I would look again.. And this time I would find out what it was!!
Gathering all the courage I possibly could, I forced myself to look towards the light again - and that's when I discovered what it was....................
The sun !!!!!!!!!!!
Hadn't seen the gosh darn thing in so many days I thought I had died and was "going towards the light..."
Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Memorial Day weekend!!
