Iām sitting at the desk and Iām writingā¦and it isnāt even going in a blogā¦wellā¦it mightā¦things like that do happenā¦but who knowsā¦maybeā¦just maybeā¦Iām just writing because I want toā¦because itās morningā¦because I have coffeeā¦becauseā¦I canā¦
Andā¦isnāt that freeingā¦there doesnāt have to be a purpose for everythingā¦the house doesnāt have to be cleaned just for companyā¦the china doesnāt have to be saved for holiday dinnersā¦the good underwear can be worn everydayā¦wellā¦not every dayā¦butā¦as often as it is cleanā¦mineās in the dryer nowā¦TMIā¦sorryā¦
Ahhā¦that saving it for somedayā¦Iāve been doing it all my lifeā¦that and itās cousinā¦waiting for somedayā¦
I came by it honestlyā¦I remember my Grannyā¦we used to give her nightgowns for Christmasā¦and sheād put them awayā¦never wear themā¦save themā¦in case she had to go to the hospitalā¦she died at age 97 or 98ā¦having only been in the hospital maybe three times in her whole life…with a drawer full ofā¦really-oldā¦brand-newā¦nightgownsā¦
That reminds me of a story in Bertha-Size Your Life called Mouse Earsā¦Berthaā¦on her way to Disneyā¦is already sporting her mouse earsā¦when I ask her whyā¦she says something to the effect ofā¦to wait until she gets there to start to have funā¦is the waste of a 12-hour tripā¦
That must be what sheās trying to tell me todayā¦since I had no idea what I was going to write about when I sat down hereā¦
Sheās reminding me that life is too longā¦and boringā¦and unhappyā¦when I put off having fun until I get thereā¦wherever or whatever there may beā¦
Okayā¦I get itā¦Iām headed to Memphis for the dayā¦do yaāll think the King will like my mouse earsā¦
Then againā¦I wouldnāt want to mess them upā¦maybe I should save them for my next trip to Orlandoā¦
Berthaā¦stop hitting me on the head with the mouse earsā¦now you are gonna mess them upā¦geezā¦what is your problemā¦

Wear those ears and have a fantastic day š I am through waiting myself. Somebody else needs to take the wheel away from me and I think he can handle it.
Sounds like you're on the right path! Honestly…I didn't wear the ears…but I did have a wonderful day!
