Daily Affirmations
We got a page-a-day calendar for xmas last year; we stopped tearing the pages off on September 1st. Just like that, September 1st. The cartoons sometimes made me laugh, but what I liked was the ritual of the tearing, letting the paper float out of my hand and into the trash. If I did nothing else that day, at least I had made that gesture.
I have found a replacement, a bit of wisdom and poetry that makes me laugh and makes me appreciate the absurdities of the everyday.
