the leading role.

some mornings i wake and say to myself "okay here we go, you can do it amanda..."  i strip off the sheets, turn to place my feet on the ground and push off.  "will today be just like yesterday?" maybe that's a good thing, there are those of us who truly enjoy the 'routine' of each day...

i'm reminded of Harold Crick in the movie Stranger than Fiction, he most certainly enjoyed the routine, he loved doing things the same way it was safe, consistent he could rely on that...until it was thrown a bit. as the movie unfolds Harold learns that he's the Main character, the leading role in his LIFE. he realizes that he wants to fight to stay alive, that each day holds something different, something new and he wanted to find out what happens. 

we each play the leading role in our lives, will you let someone else write or dictate your character for you, or will you take part in the unfolding of your mystery? today is not just any other day...
