Every day

Day 10.

FINALLY FINISHED WITH FINALS. I am now home surrounded by my family who all have a million things to ask and to tell me about. I think as soon as I walk in the door, they think they need to tell me every single detail of everything that happened in every second of every day since I last saw them in person. It’s nice to feel so loved, but all the enthusiasm can be a bit tiring.

I’m not going to write much today, but I’ll just include one of my favorite quotes from baseball Hall of Famer Bob Feller, “Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday’s successes or put its failures behind and start over again. That’s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that’s the way baseball is.”

I love this quote because I think it is so true. I like to think of every single day as a lifetime in itself. If you just had 24 hours to live, would you be satisfied with what you had accomplished that day? I like to think of my life in that way—with every morning being a new opportunity for living. It doesn’t matter about the past, because in the morning, it’s a whole new world (started singing Aladdin as soon as I typed that). So I will try to embrace my family’s enthusiasm and be satisfied with life, one day at a time As the Clock Ticks…
