As I sit in the candlelight of Earth Hour I think about energy and world’s ability to sustain itself on a depleting store of fossil fuels and oil and I think about my depleting store of days ……
It could be a good day,
a great day,
a busy day,
a hectic day,
a bad day,
an exciting day,
a spectacular day,
a hard day,
a special day,
a boring day,
a tough day,
a trying day,
a slow day,
a cold day,
a long day,
a sick day,
a windy day,
a half-day,
a sad day,
a happy day,
a beautiful day,
a tragic day,
a successful day,
a miserable day,
a rainy day,
a hot day….
But what about an ordinary day….one that just involves you and offers you everything all the other days offer you, but it is not special, it is just you, alive, your surroundings, your life and 24 hours ….
Don’t define your day with adjectives, or by single events, define your day by celebrating being here, from the time the birds sing – for the entire 24 hours, 1440 minutes or 86400 seconds.
You own them….
Live them.
Be present……
and never underestimate the privilege of an ordinary day –
They are being depleted, there is no replay, no rewind, no second chance, they will never come again!
