Discussing Groundhog's day today reminded me of our 9-11 discussion. "Make each day a 9-11", but only in the sense that you should remember each day just as well as you would a tragic day. As humans, we tend to relate words and images to something embedded in your mind that is effectivew, meaningful and always there. If we find something meaningful in everyday. Whether it be an image/ word or song, we can relate it to a memory from that day and at least then we are left with at least one thing embedded in our mind for that day.
Many people take each day for granted (and unfortunately I cannot deny the fact that I am one of those people). I recently found out that someone close to me was diagnosed with breast cancer. It is a strong reminder that even if a day brings about negative news or people, you must learn from them. Embrace the things you have and stop worrying about the things you don't (which is much easier said than done, I know).
What I learned today, or rather what was embedded in my mind today:
"Pay attention to this day- It's all you've got"
"Everyday is there for you to dicover what is there. It is up to you to bring in the experience of a lifetime."
"Each day do something that is worth repeating."
"We don't focus and pay attention"...at least not enough to enjoy life's moments both good and bad.
This Blog reminded me of a quote that I often think of...
"Life is what happens while you're busy planning it."
