An Unusual Gift

In our hurried days, sometimes we lose ourselves. With all the things on our to-do lists, there's one thing missing. We're not even on the list. So today I want to give you an usual gift.

Choose a day at random and take it off for yourself. Do something you enjoy. Something that makes you laugh. Or as the Italians say, "Do sweet nothing."

I know you won't do it for yourself. Too many of us need permission before we do something for ourselves. So you now have the permission. Take your gift and enjoy your day.
