My mum went to a funeral on Tuesday, for a relative I never knew existed. She asked and I agreed to do the office cleaning job she had for her as there'd be no way she'd make it there and get things done in a timely fashion.
Tuesday came, work was hellish, the rain was bitter and cold and the offices were their usual mess. But when I was done, though it took me hours and I was on my own, night had set in and the skies had cleared. It wasn't cold, and I walked home content that I had done a good deed for my mum.
I looked up at the sky and saw constellations I hadn't seen in forever, because when do people ever look at the sky just to look any more? And when I was mapping the stars to 'draw' Orion's Belt in my mind's eye, a shooting star shot across the dark.
..That left me smiling and feeling rather content for the rest of the night. :)
