I have never experienced today before. The moment I opened my eyes at 6:47am, yesterday’s tears and triumphs settled into the past. Today, I look forward to stepping outside into nearly 70 degree weather. I’m excited to eat my leftover shrimp scampi for lunch. I will come home to my apartment with all of my dishes already washed. I’ll probably make tuna for dinner, too, because my salmon spoiled. Besides these ordinary expectations, I don’t know what all today will specifically hold. Yet, it is a Brand New Day. I will not think of everything that can go wrong. I will not let my to-do list for the week steal my peace. I will live one step at a time.
