The end of 'today'. It's almost over. Today will soon be gone forever and be but just a memory in our minds. The thing about today, Sep. 11, 2002.... is that it was mostly spent reliving Sep. 11, 2001. And while it is good to remember.... it can also cost you your 'today' time. So often we virtually live 'in the past'. I know I have.... days, weeks, months... gone, wasted, lost forever.... that could have been enjoyed for the moments of life they had to offer... and instead spent brooding, angry, regretful, and wishing for a past to be changed... that never ever can. It's true that 'tomorrow' may never come. But even knowing that, how many todays do we waste....drowning them in sorrows and memories of past days that are gone forever? Live today, while it is today. Did you notice the beauty of todays sky? Did you take a moment to enjoy the sweet song of the birds in the trees? Did you grant yourself time to really, really look at the beautiful colors in the flowers you passed by? Did you treasure the sights and sounds of your loved ones today, their voices, their hugs, their presence? Did you notice that elderly person at the store who needed help with the door? Did you sit in delight at the sound of laughter coming from beautiful children playing in the park? Did you bask in the gentle breezes as they blew softly around you? Did you take time to smile at stranger today? Did you notice how good it felt to be alive.... today? Don't miss out on today, when it gets here tomorrow. Get all you can out of it. You only get one chance to live it. Just one. Love, Grace |
