Work will be the usual rush of one activity to the next with a healthy portion of meetings thrown in for good measure. Then it will be slow trip home in the Friday afternoon traffic. Just another Friday.
What is going to make today stand apart from all the other Fridays? What am I going to do to make this day count or will I just allow it to be a "just day"?
With my future plans coming together as rapidly as they are, I can so easily get caught up in the busyness of ticking off activities that I forget to value my time too. Normal day-to-day living can get you into that same mode where your efforts are so focused on the to-dos that the really important living part is sacrificed.
What was the last great moment you can recall? If it was more than two days ago, you are living "just days" and need to reassess what is taking your focus. You also need to consider when did you last attempt to create a lasting moment for somebody else. These don't have to be elaborate plans but even giving a word of encouragement when you see someone needs it could be what transforms their day from "just" to "great".
We are not merely here to endure the daily grind; we are here to live and to have an abundance of life. I am not referring to wealth and possessions with the word abundance but rather to the life itself. It should be filled with great moments and memories. We are reminded so regularly these days, how quickly our candles can be snuffed out. We should really take a moment, right now, to check if it is going to be "just" Friday today?
