On my walk this morning, I realized something in a drop-a-safe-on-her-head kind of way. All this working up over certain dates regarding my father, it's only when I am looking out at some day in the future and presuming it will feel or be a certain way. When I stay in the now, in the moment, in the present, whatever you want to call it but when I keep my focus on today, I'm okay. Just as I was when I awoke New Year's Day and realized that I hadn't fallen off the edge of the earth just because it was a new year, even though I had worked myself into an emotional lather about it on the last day of 2005. Just as okay as I will be every single day of February. My as yet to be met friend is right on the money when she tells me to kick the shit out of it and make it my own. Yes I'll feel pain but the advice my father always gave me was to be brave.
I'm putting that advice to use again. And with that, I'm taking back February, one day at a time.

Enter One Day At A Time Sitcom Lyrics
This is it. This is it.
This is life, the one you get
So go and have a ball.
This is it. This is it
Straight ahead and rest assured
You can’t be sure at all.
So while you’re here enjoy the view
Keep on doing what you do
So hold on tight we'll muddle through
One day at a time, One day at a time.
So up on your feet. Up on your feet
Somewhere there’s music playing.
Don’t you worry none
We’ll just take it like it comes.
One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time, one day at a time.
Sorry - I couldn' help it. ;-)
I was thinking the other day, "I sure don't envy the pain she's going to feel next week." Now I'm thinking I might envy the peace.
sass totally beat me to it.
