perfect. All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect, and beautiful journey of my life. It's a trip more wonderful than I could have imagined."
- Kerry Washington, actress
This brought me back to a time when I was growing up I dreaded each day, but now see the value because I'm an adult. (Mom and Dad, I hope you aren't reading).
Each evening, my two brothers and I were asked to come home from school or work with one good thing from our day to share with everyone else while eating dinner. Some days I would fib and make something up, and other days I'd come home with a few items to share. This always made for an interesting evening because we were not always allowed to be done with dinner until we shared. On rare evenings we were momentarily skipped so we had time to think about our day and have something to share.
As I sat down earlier this evening to eat alone, I thought it'd be a good thing to write down one good thing that's happened to me each day in a moleskine journal. (Which reminds me that I haven't posted my vision board/journal...but I am working on it!) For today's post; however, I'll share this one:
Day 1 of All Good Things: I received a smile, a morning greeting, and the door held open for me after purchasing my favorite latte on my way to work. This made my entire day happy because it started the day with a warm feeling and continued until I made it home to enjoy some quality time with Charley-dog at my feet.
