Yellow, one eye, and blue suspenders

Fan is blowing steady, unwavering. Pushing air to combat the sun. Light penetrates the wooden blinds. Shadow of the tree outlines the window. TV reporter said it would be a hot one. Five degrees warmer. Its been hitting triple digits. Its 78 degrees now and it is not even 8 am yet.

A/C and the pool will be high on the agenda today. A movie with nephew and this would be the highlight of the day. Despicable Me II and the Minions. I do like those little yellow creatures in their blue overall. Their familiar language sounding so close to something I know. Steve Carrell saving the world while watching his kids.

A simple time that will keep me warm when he grows old. Trying to makeup for time missed. Moments that I can never get back. So I close my eyes and just thank the Big Smile and the Guardian Angels for this time. A bit of regret, a sigh of relief, and some forgiveness. That is all. That is okay.

The sun will be down merciless today. Like time, it will just be. A constant, unyielding truth.

So I will cope. Adjust and enjoy the day. Find this oasis in the desert. Taking a dip in her refreshing pools and take in show when time allows it. Smile at Minions' one eye. Keeping a promise because there Joy is your Joy. Because being there is more important than being anywhere else in the world. More important than lining out a "To do" item. More important than selfish ways. More important than that hour of overtime. More important than closing that deal.

So its the Angel and Me. Minions make three.

Big Smile, Thank you
