Autopilot

Do you ever have those moments where you realize that you have no idea what you're actually doing? When you're performing a task that is so routine and suddenly your realize that you totally were not thinking? That just happened to me. I am here at work and the phone rang....I reached for it unconsciously and started talking...what I meant to say was,

"Library media center, this is Lorrie"

but what happened was..

"Library media..." and I drew a blank. I couldn't find my next word. There was this awkward moment that seemed to stretch a long time where my mind was frantically trying to catch up with my actions to process what I was doing and to continue my sentence...

"center! Library media center, this is Lorrie" I finally blurted out.

Thankfully the call was not overly significant. "Wake up, Lorrie!" I mentally told myself as I hung up the phone. "Are you living today or are you just existing in la la land?" I'm trying to actually start living for the rest of today!

Are you living today? Or are you just alive today?
