This is not just another day: this is the only day that you are given today. He gave you. This is a gift. The only gift you have right now. And the only right response is to feel gratitude.
If you do nothing but cultivate such a response to the great gift that this unique day is, if you learn to respond to it as if it were the first day of your life and the very last day, then you will live this day very well.
Start by opening your eyes and be surprised that you have eyes that you can open. This incredible range of colors is constantly offered to us for pure enjoyment.
Look at the Sky.
We so rarely look at the sky. We so rarely notice how changeable it is from a moment in a moment, when clouds change in each other. We just think about the weather. And even with regard to the weather, we do not think about the great variety of nuances of the weather. We just think about good weather or bad weather. This day has a unique weather right now. Perhaps it will never repeat exactly in this form. The forms of clouds in Heaven will never repeat what they are right now.
Open your eyes. Look at all this. Look at the faces of the people you meet. Everyone has an incredible story hiding behind their faces. A story that you can never fully understand. Not only their own history, but also the history of their ancestors. We all have roots that stretch so far ...
And in this present moment, on this very day, all the people you meet, all life that has come through generations and from all directions of the world, flows together and meets you here, like life-giving water, if only you open the Heart and drink it.
And so I want you to open your heart to all these blessed things and allow them to pour through you so that all you meet on this day are blessed by you - just your gaze, your smile, your touch.
Just your presence.
Let me thank you to fill you and pour out for the benefit of everyone around you.
And then it will be a really good day!
