Today is the last day of the month of September.   The end of a month.   The beginning of a new day.   The end of the past, the beginning of the future.   Change is in the air.  It's Fall.   Leaves are falling, changing colors, signalling the end of summer.... and that winter is working it's way to us.
 
Do you realise that life is never really longer than this 'moment'....?    The past, and the future that will soon be here... is nothing but a string of 'moments' put together to make a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year... a lifetime.   Just this 'moment' is all you really have.  What will you gleen from it?   What will you give to it?
 
I don't know how you feel, but it is the pits getting older.  I sometimes do not like knowing all the things I've come to know to get to this age...lol.    I miss the ignorance of youth sometimes.   I miss not having any comprehension that there is an 'end' out there waiting for me.   I miss being able to not have any sense of 'time' being almost up, and being able to feel like I have all the time in the world.
 
We don't.   Today is here.   You live it now.... or you miss your chance forever.     
 
It's the last day of September.   If we are blessed enough to wake up tomorrow, and still be on this earth,  it will be the 1st day of October.   A new month will have begun.
 
Finish this month wisely.  Live this day fully.   And start the next one full of hope.   A new day, a new month.... a new chance to 'begin again'.   That is all that today is anyway.
 
A new beginning.   Don't live 'today'  as just a long continuation of your past, and dead yesterdays.   Today is not dead and gone.  It's here... now.  Separate unto itself, and Alive,... just waiting for you to breath your individual contribution into it.
 
Live in today.  Love in today.   Don't let it slip you by to just be put into the box filled with all the other 'empty' days of yesterday.   Fill this one up with yourself while you have the chance.
