Today is special - but aren't they all?

If you are reading this entry on it's published date, it is June 21st.  June 21st, 2010 is:

Monday.
The first day of summer.
The day after Father's Day (I hope you had a great Father's Day)
It is the 172nd day of the year  (By the way, there are 193 days left)

So today is special.  But have you figured out yet that they all are special.  This past Saturday, I spent the afternoon with my wife, my daughter and my son.  My wife and I will celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary in November.  Our kids are grown, with my daughter in St. Louis and my son serving in the United States Navy.

We visited my family and then drove about thirty minutes to visit my in-laws.  It was a blast, we talked about everything, we joked, we laughed, and we shared.  It got me to thinking....how many times had similar trips occurred. Did I enjoy them as much?  Was I as patient?  Did I cherish it as much?  Sadly, probably not.

So as you take on your week, here are a couple of suggestions.

1.  Be thankful for the day.

2.  Be proactive.  Goals and dreaming are important -- but until you take the steps to make those goals and dreams happen, they won't.

3.  Stop wishing it was another day -- every time you say on Thursday that tomorrow is Friday, you are wasting time on Thursday.  Before you know it, you will wish you had that time back.

There are people who have had tremendous loss in their lives.  The death of a child or watching their spouse or child go through cancer or any life threatening illness.  Count your blessings and know that no one is promised tomorrow -- you make it happen today.
