One early morning

I woke up at 7 am and got ready well in time to catch the 7:58 am bus to my office. However, my desire not to hurry things up and take them at my own pace inevitably dented my plans to be on time. I missed my bus by a whisker and then there I was standing at the bus stand waiting for the next one which was not to arrive till 08:30 am. The weather, for a change, was good with rays from the rising sun prevalent all around yet the nip in the air reminding of the dreary winter gone past. I could stand there and wait for the bus or take this opportunity to walk down to my office which would be just over a mile from my place. I decided that I should give it a shot and started ambling leisurely, enjoying the weather and the spring blooms. It was a spectacle to see all those trees laden with white flowers and red buds while trees with bare branches providing a stark contrast and reminding one of both the past and the future, perhaps very close to what I am going through in my life- Leaving the past and moving forward towards greener pastures. The fresh air reminding me that spring is around the corner and the icy winter winds are a thing of the past. Taking huge gulps of the fresh air around and a jump in my step I sauntered down to my office engrossed in my own thoughts. It was a lovely start to my morning and a phase in my life.
