Enjoy Today!

    Enjoy today!  That’s what I told my daughter as she left the house for school this morning.  I hate school was her reply.  Perhaps it’s just getting older that make a person realize each morning, that today, this day, should be enjoyed.  Perhaps it’s just me.  I’m very lucky to have a job that I really enjoy nearly all the time.  Doing something you like to do goes a long way towards feeling good at the start of each day.  I guess getting older makes a person more cognizant that, for a myriad of reason, today could be their last day.  I don’t want to sound morbid, but it’s when you think of the alternative to starting another new day that you realize that no matter what happens, good or bad, there is joy in just experiencing life.

      My Facebook page recently had two posts right above each other that brought into focus for me how the emotions of life-being-lived are a gift unto itself.  My Mother-in-law’s father passed away unexpectedly and she posted about how very sad she was.  Just below this was a posting showing my niece’s new baby boy born only hours before.   The circle of life.  Our time on Earth is really too short to not approach each day with anticipation of what will come our way.  I hope that you will enjoy today!
