My Supernatural Day

Today, I woke up, not wanting to arise. Why? Because I did know, and yet did not know, what the day had held. (Normally this gives me a positive impulse, but this morning it did not, for today was not a common day.)
How, you ask, did I know what it held?
I did know the routines it held, for I, am one who creates routines that I naturally adapt to.
But this was no ordinary day, I found, for the things that were common to me, I did not desire. The things that were uncommon, and that were out of the ordinary to me, I now had a new desire for.
Instead of waking up feeling I had things that needed to be done, I had a feeling that I could do with this day whatever I desired to make it.
Instead of my usual glass of milk, I enjoyed a cup of coffee, over loaded with sugar and creamer. Normally I wouldn't have done this, but this was not a normal day.
Instead of doing my school work just to get through it, I actually desired to learn from it...for what I desired today, were the things that are not common.
Instead of listening to my usual modern music, I listened to classical, for I desired to, for the things I desired today, were the things I wouldn't have desired any other day, and this was not a common day.
Instead of reading of Harry Potter, I read of Don Quixote. But I desired to, for it was uncommon, and today I desired what was uncommon to me.
Instead of keeping warm inside, I went and sat out in the cold weather. Normally, I wouldn't desire to do this, but I desired this today, for it was an uncommon thing.
(These are very few of the out-of-the-ordinary things I've done today, but just enough to make my point)

It made me realize, that the things I do out of mere routine, are really not all that great, and that I didn't even have much of a desire towards. It also made me realize, that my desires could easily be changed. By what force, you may ask, well that is for you to decide. But I know that force, and It can and will change my desires, so that my common every day things do not become mere routines. I loathe routine, for the definition that comes to my head when I think of routine, I think of it as something you don't necessarily want to do, or desire to do, but something you feel you should do, or something you probably should do. I think there's a whole new word to replace routnine when you actually desire to do something. When you desire to do something, in my opinion, it is not a chore or a routine. Neither of these, but consider the word, "deed." I would say the word deed means to do something productive, merely out of one's own will, and not forced upon them, and even if it is forced upon them, still having the desire to do it. I think if we changed all our routines and chores into deeds, it could bring about a whole meaning to our daily "routines". [deeds]

What would give me that impulse? I don't desire to tell my resources, that is for you yourself to determine, but I stand by my word when I say, that today was no natural occurence; it was supernatural.

I challenge you to live a supernatural day.
