The writing on the mirror

Randy wakes up earlier than the rest of us.
According to him, way earlier.
5 a.m.
I used to wake up with him.
That ended a long time ago.
So our mornings together rarely start with a kiss goodbye.
I love him.
But I love my sleep too (Kenzie still doesn't sleep through the night!)
Instead I get notes.
Placed on the kitchen table.
Left on the island.
Written on a bathroom mirror.
Sometimes they are just for me.
Sometimes they are for all of us.
Today the kid's bathroom mirror reads,
"Always be a first rate version of yourself
instead of a second rate version of someone else."
Judy Garland
As always, makes me think.
Thanks Hun!
