Gravity Day 1

Gregory woke to the sun rise exploding through his giant split paned picture window over looking the bay. The rainbow ribbon of orange colors was blinding. But he didn't want to look away. It was too beautiful to not appreciate. He didn't want this moment to end. This feeling. The appreciation of something so simple yet so complex. He felt shame thinking of the amount of times he had awoke and walked by that window on the way to grab some breakfast and not appreciated this very view. He and Jenna had lived there for 10 years. Most of them happy ones. He couldn't help but think back to the memories of designing this home from scratch. The hours of looking over pictures and blue prints. Jenna picking out all of her favorite kitchen designs. Him designing his garage with enough room to fit his dream cars. His mind turned to the birth of his first child, Corren. They never made it to the hospital. It happened here. In this house. Much of Corren's infant years are a blur to Gregory. He was married to his job as much as he was Jenna. Up early, home late.

It seemed he had lost sight of the important, simple and beautiful things in life. 

Gregory started to justify to himself, like anyone does, why he had taken for granted so many of life's simple moments. "I've been sleeping on the couch for weeks, that's the only reason I just started noticing that view. After all, my bedroom faces the north. How could I feel bad for that?"

Nothing was different outside. Out there in the world, it was business as usual. But in here, in Gregory's world, everything was changing. A major life shift was rising. He kept telling himself it was a season change in his life, but from all outside perspectives there was a storm brewing. Everyone else always sees it coming before you do.

Gregory had taken the day off of work. An occasion as rare as a Lunar Eclipse. After all it was hard work that led to that bad ass view of the ocean. This day off would be spent picking up and filling out the forms necessary to start the next season in his life. Greg had enough of living his life for others. Today he was setting out to pave his own path. From this day forward he was determined to write his own book. And having an entire day off would allow him the necessary time to set the wheels in motion. His life was about to change forever!
