day 54 | ‘perfect day’

August 13, 2009. Journal Excerpt. Berkeley, CA

what would a perfect day look like?
perfect doesn’t mean no mistakes. it can be lots of mistakes

some things it might include:
gratitude and appreciation
being cheerful. lifting people’s spirits
doing something i’ve been avoiding
spending time with my family doing whatever they want to do
singing songs
being generous. helping others
challenging myself. being bold
expressing myself deeply

it seems like it shouldn’t be that hard. so what gets in the way?
