We all have routines. The time we get up, what and when we eat, and how we attack our day - how much time we spend in the office, on the phone, on the computer, and in the car.
Aside from vacations which can be great, a little change of pace for a few hours or a whole day can mean a big difference in our attitudes and energy levels.
Today was one such day as I got to attend the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis at the Kennedy Space Center.
I had never attended one live although living in South Florida there are many time when we can see various launches, depending on the weather.
Still, this was a special day. Everything leading up to the launch made it a larger-than-life event.
Finally it was time. The weather presented a few challenges but not enough to cancel the launch. The built-in holds served their purpose and the countdown marched toward the appointed time. Each time it was announced that it was a "go" for the launch, the large crowd in the viewing section cheered.
This was a little like a parade, a celebrity sighting, a premiere, a grand opening, and opening day of football season - all rolled into one.
Sometimes we need a change or pace or scenery. Worked for me.
