📚 STORY OF THE DAY

Title: Today's The Day

Author Unknown

Barely the day started and... it's already six in the evening.

Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.

... and the month is already over.

... and the year is almost over.

... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.

... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.

and we realize it's too late to go back...

So... Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...

Let's keep looking for activities that we like...

Let's put some color in our grey...

Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.

And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...

I'm doing it after...

I'll say after...

I'll think about it after...

We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.

Because what we don't understand is that:

Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...

afterwards, priorities change...

Afterwards, the charm is broken...

afterwards, health passes...

Afterwards, the kids grow up...

Afterwards parents get old...

Afterwards, promises are forgotten...

afterwards, the day becomes the night...

afterwards life ends...

And then it's often too late....

So... Let's leave nothing for later...

Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,

the best experiences,

best friends,

the best family...

The day is today... The moment is now...

We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.

A coal miner's child, photographed by Lewis Hine in West virginia in 1936. Notice no shoes and snow. :(


📅 ON THIS DAY

(1984) A Nightmare on Elm Street, by Wes Craven, came out. Spooky movie with Freddy Krueger.


🤣 BAD JOKE OF THE DAY

I told my husband to put the toilet seat down.

To be honest, I don't know why he was carrying it around in the first place. 😂

JANUARY 5th, 2024 Good morning ☀️ Well, we're officially into a new year. So I felt it might be helpful to set up a bucket list of sorts to set the tone for a happy, healthy, and fun year. It's basically a giant list of things you can do - based on the month you're in - so you never run out of ways to connect with your grandchildren (and even yourself). 💫 There's plenty more in this first weekly edition of the year. I hope you enjoy it. Have a beautiful weekend and God bless! ❤️ The 2024...
