Capitalizing The in the title was intentional, as all things are. Maybe sometimes just not my intention. It didn’t make much of an impact on me with the ‘T’ being lowercase. I tried it, it didn’t work.
Significance in all aspects of one’s life is there, in The life. Significance is always there, noticed or unnoticed. It’s there. There were so many thoughts circling inside my head this morning about what I was going to write. I wasn’t thinking ‘hmmm I should write something, but what?’ No, it wasn’t that. My thoughts were ideas or topics that I wanted to write about NOW, but The time was not right not being at the computer.
Today is Monday and there is so much I want to do. I’m already looking at the clock thinking about the time I have left in The day. I won’t sit around. Today is The Day.
I will look at the trees and listen to their rustling leaves. I will walk in the sunlight and feel warmth I am offered. I will touch. I will listen to what is said, and what is unsaid. I will enjoy the company of those around me and will offer my words. I will lend my ear, and I will see as if it were the last time for me. I will do all of these with boundless gratitude.
I will do all these things, because Today is The Day.
