If I died today...

Have you ever thought about all of the things people suggest that you do everyday? If you were to try all of them there wouldn't be enough hours in a day? So, my question is...which ones do you do? I don't intend on answering that but things like prayer might be a given.

Nonetheless, here is a new "daily" something you might enjoy. First let me preface it. Before my mother died from a ten year battle of illness, she always said "I haven't gotten any papers in the mail telling me I would live until tomorrow". Sick or not, she genuinely understood the importance of making the most of every day.

So what's the daily thing I do now? I ask myself this question every night before I go to bed...my wife thinks it is depressing but, here it is - "If this were my last day on earth, why was it a good one?

Throughout the day, I remind myself that I will have to answer that question. I know there are similar questions out there, but this one helps me appreciate everyday, somehow. Another saying mom always used, was "find the good in it."

Did you find the good in your day today? After all, none of us have papers coming in the mail.
