Just today, just this once…
Just today, just this once… Find one thing about that person you despise that’s good.
Just today, just this once… Resist the urge to pass on that bit of juicy gossip.
Just today, just this once… Open your own front door instead of another Firefox tab.
Just today, just this once… Write a completely unexpected email with no hidden agenda.
Just today, just this once… Visit your regular evening hangout, and look around to see who’s miserable and out of place. Talk to them.
Just today, just this once… Mind your own damn business. Live and let live. An it harm none, do what ye will. Judge not.
Just today, just this once… Love unconditionally. Laugh loudly. Dance badly.
Just today, just this once… Look at this entry tomorrow, and maybe live it all over again.
