A tiny little thought today.

It’s raining here in Southern California. I’m glad for that. And I hope you can take a moment to be glad for it too. But beyond that, I have no further instructions for you.

It’s usually best to not presume how someone else should spend their day. We like think we know but usually we don’t. How should a rainy day be spent? Quietly sitting by a fire, sipping tea and working a puzzle? Or watching a game with a bowl of chili and some friends and throwing Fritos at the screen when your team fumbles? Or shopping? Or cooking? Or sleeping? Or running round outside jumping in puddles?

There are often a lot of expectations laid upon us around the holidays, and even though we do it to others we all know it’s never fun when it’s done to us. So let me encourage you, like or not you just have to let people be themselves, and trust people to make their own best choices.

So, if no one else has said it to you today then let me … You’re off the hook. You do you. I hope your plan for your day is exactly what you need it to be. And I hope, whatever your plan is, that it’s part of building yourself a beautiful life.
