Dear Today,

Dear Today, 
      When I first met you, I didn't like you very much. I was irritated, frustrated, and felt really worthless. Really, those were my first thoughts of you. But now that I have had the opportunity to accept some of the gifts you've brought me, I have realized that my first impressions were completely wrong. And very selfish. See, even though I met you with a frown and a scowl, you didn't hold back your deliveries. Without hesitation you brought me a listening ear, and an understanding heart. Accompanied by a soothing walk around my beautiful home. You even brought me fresh ingredients to make an appetizing morning smoothie. Which I loved. 
     God knew I needed you, Today. My heart has been stretched quite a bit lately, and my mind perhaps even farther. With all the things on my "To Do List", I feel like I haven't had a breather for quite some time. And, here you are, bringing everything and more. Thank you.
     And again, I'm sorry for my raunchy attitude. I'm sure it wasn't a very pleasant greeting. But to try and make up for it, I fully intend on embracing everything else you have to offer. And I promise I won't just embrace it, I'll full out love it. I'll laugh, and breathe, and share, and try my best to do the best. Its the least I could do for you, Today. I love you.

Gratefully yours, 
         Kiri
