A Special Day – Day 21

Today is a special day.  Haven’t you heard?  It’s national…(you fill in the blank)…day. It seems we have created a day for nearly everything.  And the days for something special just continue to grow.  You really don’t know what you are missing until you celebrate national doughnut day, right?  And as a bakery owner, I think this could be celebrated every day.

It has become quite funny how days have been created for nearly anything and people pick up on it and make it a big deal.  It is always interesting to see what social media clings to.  But what if today really is a special day?  All of the national named days aside, what if today is special just because it is today?  What if this is just a special day because it exists?

So much of our lives are lived according to routine and rote.  We just continue to do the same things day in and day out.  We may have some slight variations but for the most part, not much changes.  Until it does and we realize we have missed so much.  There won’t be another today.  It won’t happen this way again.  Some days, that is a complete relief.  But so many other times, we missed it.  It was special and we wasted it.  We didn’t see it.  And it was here.  

Today, see it for what it is – a special day to enjoy.  Not all days are good.  Not all days we want to celebrate.  But all days are special because we have been gifted with this day.  There are many who wished they would experience this day and didn’t.  So look around…it is national… (just kidding).  It is really a special day.
