Why Not Start Today?

New Years Eve....People across the world celebrate it. We stare at a TV and watch the countdown in the center of New York city, we anxiously wait for the ball to drop when the clock reads 0. New years resolutions are made, kisses are given, and endless nights are created. When in all actuality, there is only one thing that changes, and that simply is the change from one year to the next..

What amazes me as I look around this room where people are gathered, there are loads of food and drinks, party hats and fireworks. The big question is......how come every day we don't celebrate as if we are madly in love with the life we are given? We are given another day on Earth and yet no one gets thanks for that. No one excites and celebrates for every blessed day they are given ...no, we expect to wake up, feet hit the floor, coffee in the pot...we assume we will awake from each sleep. It's as if our society has been warped to believe that we can celebrate for the New Year and create these resolutions but....absolutely nothing changes about your daily activities, no new lovers cross your path, nothing changes, unless...you make a change.

Every year, every year people create a New years resolution. My only question is how come you have to wait a whole year to begin. God gave you 365 days to choose from and you wait for that 1. Why? I like to think that motivates people to do something and make that change. But really, on January 15th, when you're back at school/work, all your daily activities have piled up yet again, are you still able to achieve those resolutions you've been waiting and longing to do??? In my opinion, start today. Start any day! The choice is yours and you can do anything you want if you simply set your mind to it. GO and do it today! There is no reason to wait for tomorrow, for you never know what is yet to come...

Praying for tomorrow...
