we all falter

yesterday was one of those days. there was no single awful thing that happened, but nothing was going quite right. i had that heavy feeling all day where you're focused and moving forward on the outside but weighed down on the inside. nothing was quite working out the way i had hoped or planned. everything was good enough, but good enough was not good enough for me. i was bummed out by one thing after the other. my trip to ny is probably cancelled. i had some weird people interactions. had some work meeting woes. in the big picture, everything was going just fine and smooth. i accomplished a lot and life was generally perfect, but sometimes if the small things all pile up at once, they can really get you.

so in the midst of my funk, i was complimented in the most perfect way for what seemed like 2 minutes straight. it was startling in many ways. i believe in angel moments, when angels are sent to you through people, and this was an angel moment. it was fleeting yet fulfilling.

on the way home i couldn't find a song that was right for the mood until finally, obviously, miles davis accompanied me home.
