The Perfect Day
The Perfect Day
Yesterday was Easter Sunday. It was a perfect day. And not only because it was a religious holiday. Let me explain.
I had a chance to sit down and read more of The 100 Thing Challenge by Dave Bruno. I got to the chapter called “My Almost Perfect Wednesday” where Dave talks about his perfect day. While I was reading this, I realized that I had the making of a perfect day on my hands.
The weather was beautiful. I was sitting out on my back patio, in the sun, looking at my lovely flowering backyard, reading. I had been to church with my husband. My house was clean and prepared for the family to come over later for a cookout. It was great!
I had to agree with what Dave wrote, “If I had more – or more luxurious – consumer accessories, it would not have made the day any better.” Dave counted the items that he used on his perfect day. It was 20. I didn’t bother counting. I just enjoyed the day.
