My brother sent this to me yesterday. It’s a great day to follow the advice, so I will. I have a few joys today, this post-election day.

• A walk at sundown on a crisp evening
• Listening to my boss command a conference call
• Dasani water that tastes so much better than small town USA tap water, and I am not a water snob – tap water is my water of choice, except for here
• Baby giggles

• Clean hair
• Leftover Halloween candy
• My current President and his family
• Friendly neighbors
• A really, really, really good toaster

• An assurance that I know Who holds tomorrow, and I know Who holds my hand
• A sandwich on the front porch with Sam
• A mailbox with a red flag for outgoing letters and bills
• Gracious, kind concession speeches
• A washer and dryer downstairs that does not require quarters or loading the car with trash bags of dirty laundry, hangers, and laundry soap
• Watermelon in November
• And a song for my brother…and for me
