We ask. You answer. Every question gets you thinking about what's true for you.

Gina Trapani asks: What’s the best thing that’s going to happen to you tomorrow?

Daily | October 22nd, 2008 by Danielle LaPorte

She doesn’t have a crystal ball, but if anyone can teach you how to clear your plate so you can make way for the best, it’s Gina Trapani. She’s the founder of one of the most successful weblogs of all time, Lifehacker.com, and the author of Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better. Maybe you can actually plan for greatness…

Carrie says: To wake up in the morning next to my husband knowing all is possible by living true to myself.

Danielle says: Ooo! I know! Thursdays I write from home. I relish my music blasting, a candle burning by my orchids, a pot of Yogi Tea (Lemon Ginger) and the space to just crank from the heart. And then, I’ll take my kid to his circus class and almost weep from the cuteness factor. And who knows, maybe a magical phone call or breakthrough idea could nearly top all that best-ness.

Gina says: I’m going to wake up next to someone I love dearly. Doesn’t get much better than that.

New magazines come out! Haha I also get to see a comedy show for charity and it's one day closer to when the person I love the most comes to see me!

Just think of all the blessings that may come your way tomorrow. Starting with the sunrise ending with the sunset and all the treasures delivered and discovered in between.

tomorrow I am going on a date with my sweetie to an "evening of inspiration" featuring people with autism performing in a variety show. It's a part of a big symposium on autism, and it is supposed to be very, well, inspiring! I think it will be great to have my hunny with me for this, too.

I'm going to physical therapy today and I will wake up tomorrow and be in alignment and will love the difference small, deliberate tweaks make when done in line with my "put the body in the best position to heal itself" philosophy.

What a great day to ask this question! Tomorrow, I WON'T wake up beside my best friend in the whole world, as I usually do, because he'll be on a plane coming back from a business trip to Newfoundland.

BUT when he gets here mid-morning, he's taking a day of vacation time and squiring me into Halifax to visit the Business to Business Expo, and then to New Minas to look at some VERY expensive furniture that I think I'd like to have in the future.

We'll be together THE WHOLE DAY. These times always remind me of our honeymoon.

A trip to my chiropractor and one day further away from my break up of an 8 year relationship...so hopefully one step closer to healing and figuring out what I want out of life. I spent 8 years with a self-centered egotistical man and got swept up in the "fun".
Have known for a LONG time that is wasn't working for me but was hard to give up all the benefits that came with the relationship. All it took was discovering he was emailing and talking to another woman in another part of the state and planning to go dancing and who knows what with her this coming weekend. We've been through this all before...I've had a feeling he wasn't "that into me" and I've tried many times to let him get out easy and he would always say "no, I want to be with you!" No, I think what he really wanted was someone to have around until he cements a deal with someone else. I'm going to be fine. He was never good with my kids (really had nothing to do with them and believe me, I hate myself for getting involved in the first place because of that) so now I can focus on my two teens and try to be a good Mother. anyway, enough. Tomorrow will be a better day. sorry for rambling on. I really need to start a journal....

I have no idea what to write in answer to that question. I guess breathing counts big time. Those of you who write out your hearts on these pages, whether it's being succinct or saying more than you intended.. make me smile, make me cry, make me jealous or envious, sometimes make me feel a little lost but always inspire me in some way. Thanks for this C&D

It's the first night of my new Make & Take sessions. Women, wine and making cool art projects together. I am very excited about this new little job niche doing something I adore and connecting with friends at the same time. I'll post some of the projects for all to see.

May I pretend that this question was asked yesterday? Today I took my first ever art lesson. And I painted a pear. And it even looked like a pear. And it even looked like a pretty good pear. Who knew?

Tomorrow I am gonna finish the editing of this PhD chapter I am writing. This one in particular is about horror and comic books. At the moment I am clutching at writing straws regarding parallelisms between Batman's Joker and The Name of the Rose's Jorge but I am totally, utterly, deeply sure that after a good night's sleep I will fly through it. Now... where's the affirmations notebook...

I'm a believer in serendipity, so I can't imagine what my best thing might be. I've spent years reaching and grasping after the wrong things...so I'm training myself to walk into the day with open hands. If I'm paying attention, I see that a bit of grace falls into my life every day.

The best thing that will happen to me tomorrow is that I will wake to another day in this life. My mantra is that every day is a good day, it's just a question of how good of a day it is going to be. Merely waking and being alive makes it good and everything else is icing on the cake.

Tomorrow is going to be another AMAZING day! I will wake up with a text message or phone call from my fabulous boyfriend of 4 months. He's going to tell me I'm amazing and that he's so happy to be with me. It's casual day at work so I'll don a favorite pair of jeans and fun new ballet flats and will drive to work where I'll have a productive day. My boyfriend and I will plan another fun weekend together and I'll make time in the afternoon to journal and read as the sun sets in the western skies. I'll lay my head on my pillow knowing I had a great day and was loving and giving to those around me. The more you give the more you get and I'm receiving SO MUCH! :)
