Open Letter to Today: Tuesday, November 30, 2004

Dear Today,

I'm not sure quite where to begin thanking you for being such an incredible day.

Maybe I should begin with the CD's of great radio and a friend's band that were waiting at my desk this morning, having arrived in yesterday's mail and how great it was to listen to those CD's after lunch . . .
Maybe I should start with the really friendly lady at the dry cleaner on the way to work this morning who made me feel good about dropping off my sheets and towels to be washed and not embarassed and guilty as I'd been feeling all along . . .
Maybe I should start with how even though my toilet broke this morning, I found the Super and showed him the problem and gave him the keys and I'm highly optimistic that the problem will be resolved by the time I get home tonight . . .

Today, I could begin so many places telling you how awesome you've been . . . how awesome you still are: the promise of a good visit to the gym after work, maybe a glass of wine with a friend, some time on my new computer, early to bed.

You are the girl-next-door of great days. It isn't that anything terribly special happened - no presents, no promotions, it isn't a holiday - just that every aspect of my day has been so plesant. Mundane but delightful. Today, you are in so many ways ideal.

Thanks, Today. I know that there are ups and downs in every relationship, but this one's been great from the very beginning. I hope I'm lucky enough to find more days like you in my future.

Lots of Love,
Ee
