We were driving to see a friend this weekend and had just crossed a bridge…
Her – “New day! New possibilities!”
I chuckled.
Her – “How come you didn’t say it?”
It’s something I usually belt out with a trumpet sound each morning as we cross a certain bridge.
Me – “Well, I usually only say that on the way to school. Do you want me to do it now?”
Her – “Yeah.”
Me – ‘Newwwww dayyyyy! Newwww… possibilities!!! Da da da da!”
Me – “Why do you like that?”
Her – “Because it’s fun.”
Me – I also like it because it’s hopeful. It’s saying life can be better today and in the future.”
Her – “Oh.”
Me – “But you don’t really think like that, do you?”
Her – “No.”
Me – “You like your life right now, today, don’t you?”
Her – “Yes.”
Me – “Good. Keep it that way.”
Her – “You keep it like that, too.”
Me – “Like you?”
Her – “Yeah. Keep it like me.”
Me – “I’m working on it, Bear. Working on it.”
