Today.
I woke up feeling like it was just another day. Another day to get up and do the regular routine: Get ready, go to work, come home, workout, make dinner, go to sleep and repeat.
But today is so much more than that. It's a new day that I am was blessed with. A new day that my life has been "reset" with new mercies from the Lord. A new day to show new love. A new day to try new things, meet new people. It's a new day to view this world a little differently from the day before. It's a new day to forget about past failures and make way for new opportunity.
Yes, today is a new day. Today, is a great day.
I got up, spent early time with the Lord, worked out early, came to work early and connected with a co-worker in India who is saying so- long to Thursday. Today I enjoyed 2 eggs for breakfast instead of a protein shake. Today, I made sure to say I love you to my family before their day started so they knew someone was thinking of them. Today, I am not focused on the things that make me feel down but am choosing to focus on the things that make me feel alive.
I am excited for what the rest of the day will bring.
Today. Yes today, is a beautiful day.

ReplyDeleteI love the attitude of each day as a new day. Not only with God, but other things. As a junior high teacher, I try to instill that mentality into my students...each day is a new day. Try to behave better. Turn in today's homework. Give it your all today.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great approach to each new day- love it. :)
