Today's
quotation:
In
terms of days and moments lived, you’ll never again be as young as
you are right now, so spend this day, the youth of your future, in a
way
that deflects regret. Invest in yourself. Have some fun.
Do something
important. Love somebody extra. In one sense, you’re
just a kid, but
a kid with enough years on her to know that every day is priceless.

Today's
Meditation:
Today is
finally here, and here we are, ready to take full
advantage of it and make the most of all that it has to
offer! Right? We have something planned for
today that will be a lot of fun, even if it's something
we've done many times before. We have room in our
day for some sort of spontaneous something, even if it's
just dropping by a co-worker's desk for a chat to find out
how they really are, and listening to them when they
talk. This day is going to be full of moments, and
we have the chance to make many of them magical moments!
It
does take some effort to make the most of each day.
Most of that effort involves making decisions to do things
that will nourish us, make us feel better and
stronger. This doesn't have to be my best day ever,
but with some good decisions, I can most certainly make it
a very, very good day. I can eat that piece of cake
that I normally say no to, or I can say no to that piece
of cake that I normally would eat. I can compliment
someone, ask for advice, give a little gift, love a little
extra.
We
only get one of this day, so it's important that we make
something special of it. It may be a trying day, but
getting through that kind of day is an accomplishment in
itself, especially if we're able to see the positive in
what seems to be negative, and if we're able to do
something good in a situation that sorely needed something
positive injected into it. Today is here, and it's
here just as much to have us give to it as take from
it. Yes, take what the day offers, but don't forget
to give something special to the day also!
We
can make this day special, if not in the huge
"that-was- spectacular" sort of way, then in the
way that we do many little good things, all day long, to
brighten our own and other people's lives, even if for
just a moment. The action may last just a moment,
but the memories of the good that we've done last a very
long time. Let's make today a day that we can look
back on in fondness, knowing that we've given what we can,
and we've taken what we need.
