Today

I’ve always got so much floating through my head.  So many ideas and “to-do”s that pile up for the future.  And, yes, here and there, I’m pretty good about embracing the moment and the day and the opportunity.  And then sometimes, well, I’m just not.  It’s too much or too scary or I’m just too tired.

It’s always interesting to try to pinpoint inspiration.  Sometimes it’s a specific moment or movie or book or conversation.  But sometimes it’s just a bunch of little things that all add up until they overflow into action.

And today I’ve reached that lovely moment when it’s all coming together.  There’s so much I want to do and say and share – always.  There are so many reasons to put it all off until I have more time to do it all “better” or until I’ve done things in the order that’s been in my head.  But for some reason, today, the time is just right.  Today’s the day to call that person or write that Thank You letter.  Today’s the day to declutter that corner or drop everything to play outside.  Today’s the day to read a poem at the dinner table or to try a new hairstyle.  Today these things won’t happen perfectly, but the promises of doing these things tomorrow just isn’t enough today.
