12-1-13 RMB Perfect Day
Dear Rita May Brown,
Today was a Sunday and the day we
designated as “our” Thanksgiving, we being the California contingent of
siblings, three sisters who gather in Orange County with one niece and a
brother-in-law to celebrate and be thankful.
I greeted the day with a neighborhood
walk, visiting with my sister’s hometown. Between washing and folding laundry,
we chatted over breakfast and snacks as we prepared our Thanksgiving meal. We
dodged out for a quick trip to the local thrift stores to find treasures and
donate some for others to discover. It was a perfect day.
The formula for a perfect day is to fill
it with what brings you smiles, whether that be family, a walk, celebrating, or
even laundry. Good company is key, whether you are with others or are alone, be
in good company. Thankfulness is always a plus for gratitude breeds the
ingredients of smiles.
There you have it, one mystery of life
solved, a method for perfecting the day.
Now onward we go to tackle all the
rest,
Loraine
