12/12/12. The day, once again, the world was supposed to end. How could I have missed this?
It could’ve ended as I was driving up 6A to bible study this morning. But it didn’t.
It could’ve ended when my prayer ladies and I were giving praise for the things God has given us. But it didn’t. (I think He might’ve had something to say about it.)
It could’ve ended while I was at fit club pushing those weights up and down. But it didn’t. (I hate when anything interferes with my exercise schedule.)
It could’ve ended while I was waiting for my peppermint mocha at Dunkin Donuts. But it didn’t. (I’m truly glad about that – I really needed my afternoon coffee before dealing with the end of the world.)
It could’ve ended as I got ready for my evening out. But it didn’t.
It could’ve ended while my writer colleagues were sharing their work tonight at our Xmas Writers Night Out. But it didn’t. (That was good, because I really enjoyed all those stories.)
It could’ve ended as I drove back home from Hyannis. But it didn’t.
All this time, as I was blindly clicking through my busy day, I had no idea the world was supposed to end today. I just found out, now, at 9 pm when I read another blog entitled 12/12/12. There’s still three hours to go in 12/12/12, but all’s quiet out there. The only sound I heard was the gentle sloshing of the ocean as I shut my car door and checked the mail. I seriously doubt this is happening – tonight anyway.
And so, as another day goes by, one thought is still left lingering in my brain:
Would I have lived today any differently if I had known the world was going to end? Hmmm….and I have written.
Actually, it is suppose to be 12-21-12. The winter solstice and my birthday. I can’t wait 😉
You are right! Thank you! Now I know why I didnt know about it! Lol!
You cant give up on the things you love, not ever…
