No better Day

"Nothing is worth more than this day." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It is Monday…again. Today is not only the most important day of the week; it is the most important day of your life. How you begin this day, can determine how well, how fast, how stress-free, how wonderful your week will be. If Monday is weak than the rest of the work week will be the same. Attempt to do all that you can today to make sure it begins and ends in a positive way. This is also the most important day of your life because it is the only day you have. For all we know this could be our last day. How will you live this day, will it be a day to remember all the difficulties that other days have brought you? Will it be a day that you still hold on to outdated grudges and contempt? Will it be a day that you postpone telling those with whom you have contact how special they have been in your life? With all the things we have put off until later, tomorrow just seems too busy and too unpredictable as to its arrival, to not use this day as a chance to have a wonderful life.

Look back and reflect upon this year. Did you accomplish everything you set out to achieve? Did you find ways to eliminate the stress in your life? Was it a great year? Did you become closer to the ideal You that want to be? Were relationships ended for the betterment of you or to the detriment of you? How is this year going to be worse than the next and not the other way around?

This year has brought me so many reasons to smile, laugh, cry, dream, and climb the wonderful mountains that life has for me. I have married the Love of my life, a beautiful, strong, and passionate woman with whom I look forward to spending the rest of my life. We have celebrated the birth of our first child, Zyla Marie and have added this special, beautiful gift to our family. We especially now have a reason to want to make this world a better place, nicer, more tolerant, and safe. So strive with me to improve the world around us and live happily, because if this day is all we get, why waste it!
