Every day is a gift

Every day is a gift.
No new thought there.
But, what about a week after you, or someone you love, has been involved in an accident that could have easily taken or dramatically changed your life?  What of tomorrow then?


Will tomorrow be another day of chasing another set of tasks that will lead to another set of things to do?
Will tomorrow be another day of resenting some, envying some, scheming against some?
Or,
Will tomorrow be a day forgiving others, seeking reconciliation, love?
Will tomorrow be a day of nurturing empathy, learning what will make a difference, and then – do that?


But, what about a week after you, or someone you love, has been involved in an accident that could have easily taken or dramatically changed your life?  What of tomorrow then?
A new clarity of thought.

Every day is a gift.

  1. Much of our lives becomes a monotonous routine of repetition and we can so easily slip into that automatic feeling of just getting through each day until we can get to the stuff that matters. Then I realized- IT ALL MATTERS.
    Now I am grateful that I have that routine, those chores, they are a part of our success and where would we be without them. When I feel like I am overwhelmed or underwhelmed, I say thank you and I focus on the moment and I appreciate my life.
