A usual but not so usual day

Majority of the workforce would concur with me on my statement that  my Mondays to Thursdays are very hard to set apart. All four days start with going to work in the morning followed by returning home in the evening and fixing up a meal. The days end with eating food in front of the TV and falling asleep. The days are so similar that its hard to remember what I did on a Monday against what i did on a Wednesday. However, today was different. The day started just like any other day of the work week. I forced myself to leave the bed in the morning after repeated warnings from B, packed lunch and rushed to the office. At work also it was a usual day filled with a few meetings. Once i left work today, my day has been very different from other days of the week. I took the train back from work . After getting down at the station I saw an old couple trying to find out which train to take to San Mateo and how to buy tickets. I helped them through the whole process and felt really nice about it. My karma brownie point for the day! After helping them out, i walked to the library and picked up a couple of books. At the spur of the moment i decided to grab a hot chocolate at the bean scene cafe next to the library. I was deliberating for a few minutes if i should enter the cafe or walk back home. I thought that it should not take this long to make such a trivial decision and just entered the cafe. Here i am sitting by the window in the cafe and writing this blog while sipping my hot chocolate. The conclusion is that a very small change or activity in a typical day can make a big difference in your usual day setting it apart from the Monday to Thursday loop.
