The night before Christmas was always a mini-celebration. In my family we’d sometimes open up one present to whet our appetites.
The night before your birthday is often a good night, even if you can’t get to sleep so easily. You fall asleep thinking about what a great day it’s going to be.
Or the night before your wedding. Or the night before a big vacation. Or the night before you start that new job. All the possibilities of the next day, caught up in your visions of sugar plums dancing in your head as you envision success.
The night before is for visualizing the next day. It’s for the same anticipation that you feel before you check to see if your lottery numbers won, except it’s the entire time falling asleep.
Always cherish the night before, and treat it with the respect it deserves for welcoming the happy tomorrow.
