today, well today is just like any other day. i woke up at 6:30 just as i did yesterday and just as i will tomorrow. i will go to work and come home from work, just as i did today and just as i will tomorrow. i will go to sleep tonight and repeat this all over again tomorrow just as i have done everyday and will continue to always do. i have been thinking, what if i could not longer say today, if today was suddenly taken away from me and i no longer was here to think or say it. every day is so short and could be taken away from any of us at any moment. i then began to think how many “todays” have i spent in the past or the future? “i am so excited for tomorrow”, “i wish it was still yesterday”. i feel so many times i have wasted the day away and not been grateful for all the little moments i get to experience. i have decided i have taken “today” for granted. many of you if not all of you have probably had that eerie realization of just how short life is and that someday every single one of us will be gone. but this thought is more than that. the thought of: what if my life has not been fulfilled to all it could have been because i have been stuck in my head, being too “busy”, too preoccupied to realize all the beautiful things around me. sometimes i could have put some of those things that were making me “busy” aside and concentrated on the people in my life (and dog), the ones that i care about and live for. i am challenging myself to make my “today” count, my “today” matter and no longer leaving it in yesterdays garbage or throwing it over for tomorrows dreams and wishes. for no soul knows when their today will be their last and they can no longer say tomorrow. so if to no one else, i am promising today that tomorrow will be more appreciated and be always grateful for each day as they come. 

i would love to hear your thoughts, don’t hesitate to share!
