Just for today …
- I’m going to mourn the loss of a friend who made me laugh … mostly because I can’t wrap my mind around how his wife of 33 years, and his three kids, are going to get up tomorrow and function without him there.
- I’m going to wish I was home pulling all of my Santas out of hibernation and leisurely arranging them on the shelves in the living room while Rosemary Clooney sings “White Christmas” in the background.
- I’m going to try not to beat myself up for the things I didn’t accomplish—because attending a funeral today reminded me that those things really don’t matter. At all.
- I’m going to look forward to taco night.
- I’m going to let sleeping dogs lie. And cats, too.
- I’m going to plan what kind of Christmas cookies I want to bake this year.
- I’m going to watch Glee because it makes me smile.
- I’m going to savor a few pages of the December issue of Country Living before I fall asleep, marking the things I like with a dog-eared page corner.
- I’m going to wear my new coat and my favorite “special occasions” scarf because today is all there is—and it, most definitely, warrants the title of a “special occasion.”
