I went to see a movie today with my oldest son. We had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch, followed by a viewing of “Christopher Robin”.

My son grew up on Winnie the Pooh books read to him at night, and watched TV specials, and the occasional movies. Just like Christopher Robin, he is all grown up now…but of course, the simple truths remain.

The one that really struck home in my heart is living in today. Don’t worry about tomorrow, or yesterday- your favorite day should be today.

When I was working full time, commuting, and taking care of my home and family, I was not enjoying my “today”. I was frazzled. I was not 100% anywhere – I was fractured everywhere.

I’m glad that I can breathe now. I’m grateful that today I could enjoy an afternoon with my son. I love that the chili is in the crock pot, that I got to sit on the porch with my dog, and that I am blessed to be writing as I do my laundry. I’m looking forward to an evening with my husband and our youngest son.

No worries. No stress. No life and death.

Just today.

And that’s enough.
