Dear Humans,

It’s normal to look forward to the weekend. We all do. But then the weekend comes and there you are folding laundry or standing in the checkout line at the grocery store, wishing you were somewhere else.

People tell me I should practice mindfulness. When I’m in the checkout line, I should only be in the checkout line; when I’m folding laundry, I should only be folding laundry. 

Which sounds fine, but wishfulness is pretty great too. Humans live as much in our minds as we do in our bodies, and those minds can take us to far-off, wonderful places. Imaginary places that are almost always better than the real thing. 

It’s okay to spend some of our time there as well.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
