You don't have to wake up feeling miserably ill to realize that everyday is a chance to make 'our' day. Sure thing I woke up with an upset stomach and lamented if only it weren't raining and I felt well today day could have been my day indeed.
Moments like these make you realize how unfortunate it is that many times when we have 'wonderful' days we just let them pass us by without really utilizing them towards making our lives more fulfilling. The truth is, no day is ever going to be perfect. The weather may mess things up, your partner may upset you, the trains may be all messed up and the list goes on and on. The great thing I love about New Yorkers are the fact that they are completely unfazed by the weather and everything else around them.
A perfect example would be a typical snow storm. Mere hours into the storm my facebook feed alerts me with updates from at least five friends that are either at a baby shower, engagement, birthday party or just hanging out at the bar while I lay snuggling under my blanket in my fleece PJs! Now if you compared my dull outlook to theirs, which of us are reclaiming the day? You can definitely bet your bottom dollar that it's not me.
These everyday examples make you realize that you aren't really taking advantage of every day that you have. We have the gift of time and more importantly the gift of life. Our destiny is unwritten, we are ink that fill the immaculate blank pages with memories that make help us create our own destiny. I'm certain that I'm not the only one sharing these sentiments, but if I were to be filling the pages with memories I'd want them to be incredible. There is no stopping either one of us from creating our own'bestseller' memoirs. The earth is spinning, the clock is ticking. Are you going to let life pass you by?
