Perhaps Today {a free printable}

For as long as I can remember, my Grandma had a little plaque in the window above her kitchen sink that said “Perhaps today.”

My grandparents lived in Kentucky and I grew up in Alabama, so our visits were limited to once, maybe twice a year if we were really ambitious. She was a plump and pretty little lady whose favorite colors were purple and dusty rose, which were woven throughout both her home decor and her wardrobe with great frequency.

My grandfather spent his life as a coal miner and my grandma spent hers raising 8 children.

No horizontal surface in her home was left untouched by some kind of cut glass figurine or ceramic collectible. I inherited her high cheek bones and her dollhouse filled with miniature red velvet furniture that matched her own living room suit. Her house had a crystal chandelier in the living room and an attic bedroom with sloped ceilings. And yes, my Grandma’s house was not far from my mind as I designed my own attic room with sloped ceilings and a dangly crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

My grandma was religious but could never be nailed down to just one denomination. My dad called himself a “Bapti-costal” growing up because they attended so many different churches. Vestal Goodman was like her sister from another mister. I am pretty sure that her “Perhaps today” plaque above her kitchen sink had something to do with Jesus, but when you really think about it- it’s like the ultimate hopeful statement.

Perhaps today I’ll drink 8 glasses of water and get a full night’s sleep.

Perhaps today I’ll finally finish this blog post I’ve been meaning to share for six months.

Perhaps today I’ll win the lottery.

Perhaps today Jesus will return and wipe away every tear from our eyes.

See? The possibilities in those two little words are positively endless. It’s the most hopeful two words I can think of, and don’t we all need more of that in our lives?

So today, in honor of my Grandma Cain, I’ve put this next to my office window, and I’m offering you this free printable in her favorite color scheme of purple and dusty rose, so you can imagine all the possibilities that today might bring.
