"Don't be
fooled by the calendar There are only as many days in the year as you
make use of. One man gets only a week's value out of a year while
another man gets a full year's value out of a week."~Charles Richards
Good morning! Here we are on the cusp of a new year, and I can
imagine these comments being said in homes around the world:
"Wow! The holidays really snuck up on this year! Can you believe how
quickly the year went by?"
"It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the New Year!"
How right Charles Richards is, though, in his analysis of time and the
calendar. It truly isn't the number of days we have that matters, but
what we bring and take away from each of those days.
Your Turn: How efficiently did you use
your days in the last year? If you had to give yourself a report card
for effort, enthusiasm, giving, patience, and hope, what would your
grades be? What can you learn from the current year that can make next
year a more fulfilled year for you and yours?
Today's Affirmation: Every day matters,
because I choose to make it matter.
