Every day is special, not because the sun rises when the moon falls asleep, but because you get a new chance to express gratitude to those special people in your life. Life is meant to be lived surrounded by grace and miracles. They, the miracles, happen every day from the flowers that bloom, to the breeze that cools your fever, to the clouds that dance in the sky, to the sea that kisses your toes. Every breath we take is a miracle and a gift, and we forget to consider today the most important day in our lives. We always plan for tomorrow, hoping and praying it will come.
But what about today? What incredible things are we going to accomplish today? Are we going to call a friend we haven’t seen or spoken to in ages? Are we going to read that excellent book waiting on a dusty shelf for the right time? Is there a good time? Every morning brings new avenues to uncover your inner self, a world waiting to be discovered among the beats of your heart. Most of us choose to ignore the song so beautifully sung by the chords of our soul. We shut it off before it even starts, so the tune dies. Have you ever wondered why the song began in the first place? Maybe it wants to spread a message, a warning that we are travelers through this world.
Spend more time enjoying the little things in life, talk to your loved ones and give thanks for everything good or bad that comes your way. You learn something new from everything, you become sturdier, and you’ll rise above the clouds. We should never forget that life is nothing but a dream, so enjoy today for tomorrow is not promised.
