Scrap Your Trip Adds 206 Items + 206 S*A*L*E Items + EK S*A*L*E

Last year at this time, I wrote what I think is one of the best e-mails I have ever sent out.  Not because of what I wrote, but because of what all of you wrote back.  I wrote the following:

“I can’t even say the words "Groundhog Day" without thinking of the movie from 1993 with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, where Bill Murray plays the grouchy weatherman who is forced to live the same day over and over again until he gets it right.  But what if you had a day in your life that you GET TO live over and over again?  What would that day look like? “

There were over 200 comments posted on the blog in response.  Your “perfect day” stories touched me…changed me…and a lot of other people that read them.

So, I thought it was time to update for 2010.  Parts of my day stayed the same…parts changed.

• My perfect day is one I get to spend with my kids.
• One that I am TOTALLY present – in the moment – enjoying everything as it happens and not thinking about anything except what is happening right now.
• It starts with a nice hot cup of my favorite chai tea.
• I get to spend some time curled up reading a good book.
• We go to Disney World and ride roller coasters.  I am completely present when I am on a roller coaster.  Plus, I like the rush!
• The kids and I spend some time looking over scrapbooks and old pictures and I tell them all their favorite stories about when they were really little.
• I go get a pedicure with Lani and we get to spend an hour or so of “girl time”.
• I have a great conversation with my Mom and Dad on the phone
• I prepare a delicious meal for dinner.  Cooking is a way I show people I care about them.  The kitchen fairies come and clean up.
• I spent an extra long time snuggling with the kids before they go to bed.
• I take a nice, long, hot bath.  Long enough that the water gets cool, so I add more hot water and stay in some more!
• And then, since it’s my dream of a perfect day, I would fall asleep in the arms of my baby (Hey, just because I go to sleep by myself doesn’t mean I can’t dream of falling asleep in someone’s arms!)

  Aahhhh.  What a wonderful day that would be!  What does yours look like?  Please let us know on the blog.  Everyone who comments will be entered in a drawing for a $25 SYT Gift Certificate.  We will be choosing 3 winners for every 25 comments (one comment per person, please).  
And if you have the time, grab a cup of coffee or tea and a box of tissues and read the comments from last year.  I promise you…it will change you.   Click here to read:  http://site.scrapyourtrip.com/blog2/2009/02/04/scrap-your-trip-adds-220-items-and-220-sale-items/
