MAKE THE MOST OF EACH DAY

I READ THIS IN MY HUSBAND'S "QUICK-BITS" NEWSLETTER THE OTHER DAY AND IT REALLY MADE ME STOP AND THINK. "Hoping to get a glimpse into history, an interviewer asked an 87 year old lady, 'What was the world like back in your day?'
HUMPPH! she responded. THIS is my day!. I love her attitude. Instead of being wistful for the years behind her, the elderly lady's mind was on making the most of the day infront of her."-John Maxwell. WHAT A GREAT ATTITUDE TO HAVE AT 87! IT SHOULD ALSO BE THE ATTITUDE WE ALL HAVE AT ANY AGE. I'M OLD ENOUGH THAT I HAVE ALREADY STARTED THINKING BACK TO DAYS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND HEALTHIER AND HAD MORE ENERGY AND COULD DO THINGS I CAN'T DO NOW. SOME OF YOU AREN'T TO THAT STAGE YET.
EVEN SO, AT ANY AGE, IT IS EASY TO FIND REASONS FOR NOT MAKING THE MOST OF EACH DAY.
THERE MAY BE DAYS WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD OR YOU'RE REALLY TIRED, BUT EVEN ON THOSE DAYS YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. YOU CAN PRAY OR CALL A LONELY WIDOW. YOU CAN WRITE A NOTE OR SEND A CARD OR E-MAIL JUST TO CHEER SOMEONE UP OR LET THEM KNOW YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THEM. SENDING FUNNY E-CARDS TO A FRIEND WHO IS GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME ONLY TAKES A MINUTE AND LITTLE ENERGY BUT CAN MEAN ALL THE WORLD TO THE ONE WHO RECEIVES IT. YOU CAN SPEND TIME READING GOD'S WORD OR LISTENING TO CHRISTIAN MUSIC OR READING A DEVOTIONAL ONLINE. HELPING TO GROW IN YOUR PERSONAL SPIRITUAL WALK IS A GOOD USE OF TIME AT ANY AGE. OF COURSE, THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS YOU CAN MAKE THE MOST OF EACH DAY WHEN YOU DO FEEL GOOD AND HAVE ENERGY AND I DON'T THINK I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL OF THOSE, YOU KNOW WAYS TO DO THIS. SO, LADIES-REGARDLESS OF OUR AGE OR CIRCUMSTANCES, LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF TODAY!
