When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
I remember how, as a child, I loved waking up every day! There were places to explore, things to do...so many things to learn about and dream about doing. I remember reading about the Titanic and becoming obsessed with it. I wanted to know everything about it. Or reading about the Biggest Mall in America and how there was a roller coaster in it, which incidentally, roller coasters terrify me!
Life was full of wonder and excitement. Life use to be fun. Exciting.
Lately, I can be full to the brim with gratitude and joy one day, wrecked to the rocks the next. I have to find a balance between the two and I don't want the little blue pill to be the answer. So, I will try to do one new thing that I've never done before, every day, for a year, and see if somewhere in there I can get to where I am like Piglet, and wake up wondering what's going to happen exciting today.
