Pooh and Piglet Discussing. Decoration by Ernest H. Shepard (in the public domain)

“‘When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last, ‘What’s the first thing you say to yourself?’

‘What’s for breakfast?’ said Pooh. ‘What do you say, Piglet?’

‘I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?’ said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. ‘It’s the same thing,’ he said.”

Thank you for an engaging with me and with each other for a weird, wild, woeful, and wonderful year! ~ Kate
