Flexibility

Ever have one of those days? A day that doesn't turn out anything like you had planned when you woke up in the morning? A day where everything changes and you have no choice but to roll with the punches?

That would describe my day today.

It was not necessarily a bad day, mind you. Definitely tiring. Disappointing at times. But strangely productive too. A bizarre day.

At supper time we unexpectedly found ourselves at the cafeteria in Ikea. As our family ate, the sky outside the windows grew dark and menacing. A ferocious storm broke loose and pummeled the city. Hail stones roared on the store's metal roof, loud enough to make conversation awkward. Our family joined dozens of strangers huddled around the cafeteria's large windows, watching the parking lot fill with slush.

A surreal scene.

I suppose it was just another unexpected event to mark a weird sort of a day.
