The beginning of this week has been less than satisfactory in that I haven't been alert enough to actually enjoy it. The holidays are rapidly approaching and I am falling further and further behind... but on my way to work this morning I was reminded of just how amazing today can be... I was scanning through my music and found U2's song Beautiful Day.
I hadn't heard the song in a while, so i listened all the way to work... one of the lines says It's a Beautiful Day, don't let it get away... and as I listened I realized that I had been watching life go by and taking a lot of it for granted. I didn't smell the roses (they aren't in season), I didn't take the time to watch a sunrise (probably because I refuse to get up that early on principle) or a sunset (possibly because it's depressing that it gets dark so early these days)... and then I realized that I'd been making excuses and complaining more than I was enjoying life...
Psalm 118:24 says: This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it... and Philippians 4:4 says: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say Rejoice!
Have a Beautiful day!
