Someday...

• I will have my dream scrap studio; a place where I can sit and feel creative, with everything I need right at my fingertips. But not today.

• I will be 30 lbs. thinner. My stomach will bend in the middle where it's supposed to, and muffin top will be a thing of the past, no matter what size my jeans are. But not today.

• My kid will understand exactly what she wants out of life; she will understand that hurting herself is indeed hurting others, and the choices she makes today will affect all her tomorrows. But not today.

• I will be as organized as I think I am. Not only will I own a calendar, but I will write important reminders in it. I will actually find a q-tip when I reach into the q-tip jar. But not today.

• I will actually fill my gas tank up. Not put in $10 today, and $5 on Thursday, and whatever change is in the ashtray of my car on Saturday. But not today.

Today is a day...

• To celebrate living in Southern California...it's the middle of January and it's almost 80 degrees outside. The sun is shining, the birds are singing...

• For taking my time while running the day's errands, stopping at Starbucks and sitting on the patio sipping an iced mocha and people watching.

• For finishing up some projects, and starting others.

• That I will never have again. I want to enjoy it and not waste it.

• For writing it all down in a quick, simple blog post. It's a start.
