Seize the day. That's my goal. More often than not I'm just trying to get through the day. If I can just get to tomorrow, the weekend, the end of the month. But I don't want to live for tomorrow. I want to live today. Days keep turning into nights and nights into days and I'm left wondering if I just went through the motions.
Not today. Today I will complement cashiers and fast food workers. Today I will help a coworker. Today I will make a meaningful connection with my husband and make time to communicate individually with my children. Today I will smile and look for opportunities to laugh.
My mom gave me a picture for my home, I'll bet you have one like it. It says "Live. Laugh. Love." Today I plan to. She also reminds me regularly that the present is a gift. Today I plan to embrace the gift. Today I will find joy in the journey!
Thanks for this post! Today is going to be one of "those" day because so much has to be done. I really needed to read this today and remember to enjoy what I have.
