Things I Will and Won't Miss

Writing another Monday Listicle inspired by Nora Ephron’s list THINGS SHE WILL MISS AND WHAT SHE WON’T.  Nora was diagnosed with Leukemia quite a few years back and in her final book, she chose to make a list of what she would and wouldn't miss if tomorrow never came.


Here are mine, in no particular order.    


Things I Will Miss

Whether I would or wouldn't miss any particular thing if tomorrow never came, I am thankful TODAY and everyday for everything that I have, every one I have, everything I am able to do, and everything I am able to feel.

What would you miss if tomorrow never came?  What wouldn't you miss?
