Just another ordinary week…or was it?

I was chatting with a friend on Friday when they asked a fairly standard question. Â “How was your week?” Â And in my standard unthinking way I said, “Oh it was fine, nothing special.”
Then I started to think. Â Was that true? Â Had it been just another ordinary week?
I called up the calendar on my computer and took a look.
HOLY CATS! Â From Friday, February 26th until Friday, March 5th the following took place in my world.
My sister got engaged and so did another friend of mine. Â My brother, my sister and a friend all had birthdays and another friend gave birth to her first child. Â I launched my radio show, bought a new computer and got a haircut. Â I had a first date/last date. Â I met with various friends for brunch, coffee, a beer, happy hour, dinner and a bike ride. Â And I am sure there are a couple of other things I am forgetting (since not everything goes in my calendar.)
Just an ordinary week my ass. Â But if I had not taken the time to give some attention to these events I would have let them slide by with out the recognition and gratitude they deserve.
So how was your week? Â Take a second and think about it before you answer. Â You may be surprised. Â I was.
