Around here we have some countdowns going on. Several actually. It didn’t occur to me today which one might be foremost in my mind, in my subconscious even, until I saw this on the road while Miss Sophie and I were taking our morning constitutional earlier today.
The first thing that came to my mind was, “Huh. That looks like a TIE fighter.” And right after I typed that just now I had to look up to see if I even had the right thing or not–I am right about which one, but of course it really does NOT look like a TIE fighter in actuality, but still, you can see where my mind was going.
STAR WARS, y’all.
December 18.
Unlike the other countdowns going on in our home, this one we’ve had on the horizon for over a year. Ever since the movie was announced and “December 2015” was a far away nebulous thing.
Not anymore. We are closing in on SW Day. It’s real. And we are so close to it that we can all but taste the popcorn.
One week before Christmas. Another of our many countdowns going on right now.
The anticipation is so palpable, it’s a real thing. Anticipating all of the good things to come. One, two, three, four. All right there together in a row.
Having good things to look forward to is the best, isn’t it? With all the hard things and the sad things and the downright dark things in our days and weeks and months…..hanging on to the good that is coming…..that is what keeps us going.
Hoping you all have something fun and wonderful to have a countdown for in your neck of the woods.
Love to all.
