this morning #2283.

this morning, if you’d asked me to name something that i was looking forward to today, it would’ve taken me a bit of thinking to come up with an answer. it’s not that my outlook on life is bleak per se. it’s that, for me, sunday’s the day for me to catch up on the things that i couldn’t achieve during the week. as such, unless i can sneak in some joy later in the day, fun’s optional. could i have said that i was looking forward to a sparkling clean kitchen floor? the smell of fresh laundry? an inbox with zero unread messages? of course i could but finishing those chores isn’t the sort of thing that i look forward to. i do them to keep my life in order. give me dinner with an old friend. a long walk in the woods. good seats at a ballgame. i’ll take those over satisfying my to-do list any day.
