THE DAYS IN BETWEEN

By Bob Perks ©

2007

Sometimes I need to see my life differently. Like

stepping outside it and seeing it from a different

angle. Maybe walking around

it, underneath it

or climbing on top.

Better yet, through the eyes of a child. There is

nothing complex about what I am about to share

with you. In fact, the beauty of

it lies in the

simplicity.

I was talking to a friend about all the things I've

been

going through lately. We were sitting at a

table in an open coffee shop located in the

center

of a mall.

I love coffee and I love conversation.

Just as we began

speaking a woman with two

teenage girls took the table just behind us. They

were

rowdy and unsettled as they were talking

about all the shopping they were doing. Mom

reminded them to sit quietly while she placed

their order at the

counter.

Remarkably, they quieted down immediately.

"All I want to do is to get

through it," I said as we

continued our chat.

"I know what you mean," my friend

replied.

Then I said, "When I look back over my life all I

see is me dealing with a

problem and sooner or

later another one pops up."

Without hesitation I heard, "What

about all the

days in between?"

I looked at my friend and he shook his head as

he

said, "I didn't say that."

"I did!" a young voice replied.

Then from

behind him one of the girls turned

around, smiled, and repeated, "What about all

the

days in between?"

I smiled. I thought it wonderful that she felt she

had something to offer us.

"Explain." I said.

"Well, this is just my opinion, but

people always

think about their problems. What about all those

days in

between? Those days we throw away

worrying about what happened and what might

happen," she said.

"Those days

are good days, probably more of

those than the bad ones!" the other girl

added.

Just then the

woman returned. "Are they

bothering you?" she asked.

"No, they helped me see my

life differently," I

said. "Now I see the days in between."

"More of those than the

bad ones!" my friend

added.

What do you see?
