In This Day

What will this day bring.

If you let it.  Live it.  Drive it.

In a day I went from ignorance to knowledge.

In a day I went from existing to living.

In a day I learned the difference between love, hate and apathy.

In a day I woke up single and went to sleep at night married.

In a day I woke up childless and went to sleep as a mother.

In a day I woke up married and went to sleep single.

In a day I went from knowing fear to not letting fear stop me.

In a day I went from having religion to knowing faith.

In a day I woke up with no motivation and went to sleep burning with energy to change.

In a day I went from victim to victorious.

In a day I went from doing what I did to doing what I could.

In a day I went from not knowing I could to not accepting I could not.

In a day I went from three miles to ten miles.

In a day I went one hundred miles.

In a day I went from never understanding loss to becoming fatherless.

In one day I learned that I decide who I am regardless of what others think me to be.

In a day I went from being told I couldn’t to running three miles.

In one day I realized I was stronger than I ever knew and yet not nearly as strong as I will some day be.

In a day I went from beating myself up to giving myself a break.

In one day I discovered who I was is driving me to who I will be.

In this day ….I will learn what today will bring.

    You remind me that there are not any pointless days. We have to look for the subtle meaning in the ‘quieter’ ones.

    As I have passed the test for “moron-ity”, I can but say there is some greatness in writing here…perhaps in a day, I can figure it out.
