Six Impossible Things

I get quotes stuck in my head the way some people get songs stuck in theirs.  This morning it was from Lewis Carroll:

"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

As I got ready for my day, it occurred to me that I should adopt this practice somehow.  After all, weren't there moments when I found that I was already living things I used to believe were impossible?  And don't we live in a world where, just at the moment, we are daily challenged with at least the ridiculous, if not the impossible?  

So, on Wednesday, June 7, here are six impossible things I believed before breakfast:

1. Pouring hot water over bitter, ground-up beans creates a beverage capable of altering a morning.
2. The same sun shining in my eyes at 6am just drew a bright, warm line all around this entire planet since 6am yesterday morning.  
3. There are people chatting and laughing outside my building right now who, in the world of 50 years ago, would be dead.  (There is a dialysis center next to my building.) 
4. The entity I know only as a collection of medications and diagnoses will transform into a complex and wonderful human being the moment she arrives for her 9am appointment.
5. My life, and what I choose to do with it, makes a difference in a wider world than I can comprehend.
6. So does yours.  

Believing takes effort and practice.  This was not an easy list to create (especially before #1 happened.)  I am looking forward to the six impossible things that will be waiting for me tomorrow.
