Embrace The Day

Never forget today. It might be a great one!

Each day brings with it something that ads to the stew of your life. Any one day can have a lasting impact on the future. One never knows what is around the next corner, and that is what makes living exciting. Too often we get caught up in routine and miss the delight.

For better or worse we live in a fragile world - but at the same time a very resilient one. The ying and yang pull and push all at once.

Some days are challenging. Others are poetry. I find they are almost always both, but we do not notice the small dabs of joy that are floating all around us.

Facades and preconditions of others be forgot and embrace the day and feel the energy.

People matter, as all opportunities come from people. Even when we disagree with people, we can learn from them. Society brings with it a swirl of options, and when you welcome others into your life who have a different history and points of view, you win.

Do not run from diversity. Relish in the uniqueness of your friends and neighbors. I have found it is from the friendships with those I am different are the ones that teach me the most. I think (and hope) that is a two way street for them as well.

Have A Great Day.

Embrace the day - because it could be your last.

That may sound morbid to some, but it's true and to me increases the need to embrace each day with positive energy. Who wants their last day to be a bad one?
