I hope (knock on wood) to be working by this time next month which means that I should be appreciating every day that I have now.

I know that in a month (hopefully) I will look at a day like today when all I did was walk the dog (twice), clean the house, and shop for presents, and it will be a vacation day.

So I appreciate the days I have now and focus on that…it distracts me from wanting to rush things.

When I have a sore throat now I can curl up on the couch and not get dressed until noon.

When I crave peanut butter cookies now I can just pop into the kitchen to bake them.

When I’m bored now I can grab a book or flip on the tv.

When I feel like calling someone now I just pick up the phone.

So you see, if I squint hard enough I can see that silver lining.
