All in a day....

Isn't it amazing what can happen in a single day? Some days come and go, becoming a copy of the day before and the day before that, starting to all blend--day after day, week after week. However, some days make you realize just how much life can change so quickly, on so many different levels, for so many different people. Truly life changing circumstances. Today's one of those days that made me stop and realize how important EVERY day really is. Here's a snapshot of what I learned on August 15, 2012 and wanted to share with you: one friend excitedly picked her teenage son up from his summer long sleep-away camp, as a different friend sadly sent her 1st born off to college. Another friend happily announced her 3rd pregnancy as she starts maternity shopping, as another friend mourns the passing of his father who sadly lost his battle to cancer and is now preparing for his funeral. One pal is filled with joy as she travels to Vegas with her fiance, as another is filled with bittersweet emotions finalizing her divorce papers. Today at one of the Corporate Fitness Centers I teach at I was called in last minute to sub a class. After that class a participant came to me saying that she hasn't been to the gym in many month and thanked me as she really enjoyed my class and felt great today (and will now make the effort to come in more often). So my message for you my friend is to always remember: live in the moment & live each day as if it were your last! Move past the negative and focus on the positive...life truly is a "gift" and too short to waste even for just a day!
