Social Media Confession

Dear Jessica Brennan,

Today I didn’t make a great meal, worthy of photographing.

I didn’t meet a celebrity or finish a fantastic, long term project.

I didn’t find the truth or get my nails shellacked.

I didn’t hit the jackpot.

I didn’t discover a new band with a top 40 song I just had to play 6 times in a row.

I wasn’t disillusioned.

I didn’t climb anything or fall down anything.

I didn’t have a breakthrough or an AHA moment.

I did nothing heroic.

I didn’t hold a baby.

I didn’t go up the corporate ladder or come down with a cold.

I didn’t take or give a workshop.

I wasn’t outraged by some volatile issue.

No one sent me a gift or a post-worthy quote about being grateful and blessed.

I didn’t look my best or my worst.

I didn’t make any pithy statements.

I didn’t make or lose a friend.

I wasn’t particularly inspired.

I didn’t make someone’s day.

No one made mine.

I also didn’t ruin anyone’s day or have mine ruined.

I didn’t adopt a wounded animal or sit on a patio and take a selfie with a popular person who was grinning inanely.

I didn’t give blood.

My Christmas shopping isn’t done.

Today my eyelashes remained un-extended, the cat didn’t wear his sombrero, and I weighed the same as I did yesterday.

I had a shower, drove to work, came home, ate a forgettable dinner, watched an average TV show and went to bed, without incident.

It was not social media worthy, yet somehow, without likes, shares, filters or hashtags, if you can pause long enough to try to imagine it, it was still a great day.

Love,

Mum xo
