Another Day? | VictorSchueller.com

“Each day provides its own gifts.” ~Marcus Aurelius

As a rule, there are two topics I don’t discuss publicly, especially on my Facebook page, or my website — I don’t talk religion or politics (and many of you would say that’s probably a good thing).  Don’t worry, because while I will mention the election, I am just using it to set the stage for my post today. 🙂

On Tuesday, I was waiting in line to cast my vote.  I was sandwiched between two people who apparently knew each other, and I heard this exchange:

Person 1 to Person 2: “Hey, how are you doing?”

Person 2 to Person 1: “Oh, hi!  I’m doing alright.  How about you?”

Person 1 to Person 2: “Alright…Another day…”

Person 2 to Person 1: “That’s right…Another day…”

It was just a quick snapshot, but as the conversation sunk in, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Just another day?”

Every day is a gift…Cherish it…

Every day is an opportunity to learn something new…Grow from it…

Every day is a new beginning…Write your life story…

Every day is a challenge…Be victorious…

Every day is an opportunity to change someone else’s life…Be loving and compassionate…

Every day is a blessing…Every day contains opportunity…

What are you going to do with your day today?  Is it going to just be “another day?”

I know I am going to make the most out of my day, and every day to come.  How about you?
