I am on a ghost train.
A ghost train is one that does not appear on any of the apps and systems. The train that arrives and confuses all platformed passengers when the board says the next train arrives in 14 minutes.
The board tells you delays. Reality tells you it has arrived.
Early this morning, as I walked to the first train of the adventure (the train preceding the ghost train), I saw a mailman with a stack of packages. He hopped up the stairs and rang the doorbell and turned to go back to his truck. Bless our delivery people who work insanely hard during this season. I like to make them a little treat during this busy time.
Yesterday, we started our advent calendars. The excitement is so real. There is something absolutely brilliant about anticipation. It adds a real thrill to life. I am reminded that we should build more anticipation. There is nothing like magic we plan and create. There is something special about waiting for something certain. We can create certain certainties.
Here is your PSA to create some magic. And not just in this season, but every season.
