“You still have life. A choice as to how you will live this precious day.” Sarah Ban Breathnach
By: Gabriela Yareliz
The week felt eternal, and yet, the month has flown by.
It’s been one of those weeks where I wake up and feel like I didn’t sleep a wink. There has been a lot of grief and troubling headlines. A lot of work. A lot of survival matcha.
I am on the train with the Backstreet Boy gone wrong— that man who leaves his house with the wildest and thickest eyebrows and goatee drawn on and his 90s haircut. It’s like he took a marker and drew on his face trying to look like Kevin Richardson. Despite his unique lewk, he dresses corporate. I wonder how that works for him. Intriguing…
Anyway— back to reflection— one thing that I try to keep front and center is how each day is a gift. Truly. Even when we drag ourselves through the day. When we see the gift, perspective shifts. How will you live your precious day today?
When time flies, it reminds us that we need more presence. Each gifted day does not require perfection but consistency in our build. It deserves our reverence. Our gratitude. Our relentless pursuit of our dreams.
Every day, we get to observe where we are not free, and every day, we get the chance to begin again.
