I heard that question posed early this morning on a commercial and loved it. Made me think about what I rise and shine for and started wondering what others would answer if I asked.
Feeling happy you can look back at a great weekend and be thankful for every minute of it. Inviting really old friends to meet brand-spanking new ones and having them all get along famously. Knowing that the old and new friends will likely be friends until we are all much much older and much much wrinklier. Catching up on laundry. Not waking up with a headache:)
Waking up later than you should every once in a while. Giggling over bad high school hair in old yearbooks. Fried pickles on a patio for brunch. Relaxing at the pool reading People magazine. Frozen mudslides and live music. Complete strangers that are ridiculously nice and friendly. Watching kids splash around a pool and remembering how amazing being that kid was and how summer was so magical and perfect back then. Feeling like wow, summer is still that magical and perfect and you’re over 30. Stepping into A/C after being sweaty all day. Laughing, laughing, laughing. Dinners on a pier with the best company you could ask for. Ocean breeze. Sunday nights knowing you don’t have to work on a Monday. Falling asleep with music and all the lights on because the weekend you just had was perfectly exhausting.
