Your Day
As you know the sun rises and then sets. Or more accurately the Earth rotates around the sun once every 24 hours or something very close to that. We count each rotation and mark it down on a calendar. We have done this for a very long time.
We value each of these rotations enough to call them a day and keep track of them. We then group these days and call them weeks. We group our weeks and call them months and months years, years decades and decades centuries. Well, in fact we even collect the centuries and call them millennium. This obvious evidence of the value of a day has been marked and collated yet I expect we often for get why.
Why value a day? Why value the single rotation of the Earth around the sun? The best answer I can come up with is because it is yours. Regardless of where you are or what you are doing that day belongs to you. If you are stuck in prison or sitting on a boat that day belongs to you. You can spend it wisely or waste it completely. And while most of us fully expect to be given another day we have no promise of it.
Doctors attempt to assure us that we have a number of days awaiting us, even when they start counting them down. We struggle to maintain our health care in an attempt to ensure the next day keeps coming. Though in the long run I believe we forget to remember why. Why value each day?
Each day is just that, a day, a moment in history where I have a chance to influence it. True I might have zero influence on the issues we hear about and face each day but I do have influence on my family and friends and I have the privilege to use that influence each and every day. What I choose to do with that day and that influence is up to me.
I can choose to make their day better or ignore them completely. I can choose to make their day worse. And while we might not intentionally desire that goal it does seem that we tend to make that choice. Each day is a opportunity. Each day is our to spend. Do you see it's value or has it become to common place?
Today is your day, enjoy!
Blessings.
