How many of you have had things said to you during the day that either have meaning or you could use for a daily meditation?

My brother said something kinda cute and very out of character for him today.

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift which is why they call it the present"


When he 1st said it I thought how fluffy coming from a total science geek. But then I pondered a bit at what he was trying to say. What a wonderful outlook about life. Why shouldnt I be happy because I have today? Why shouldnt I consider the day as a gift for me to enjoy and celebrate?


Talking with my brother can be a semantic challenge of verbal wit and intelligence. He is such a powerful personality it can be hard to communicate sometimes. One wrong word put in the wrong place and the entire conversation changes to the reason for using the word and why it needs to be corrected LOL. Today he made me laugh and giggle just a bit with a simple saying that each day is a gift for me to enjoy.


For me I got 2 gifts today... I got the day itself, and I got to see a very soft and happy side of my brother. I hope I can show him what a joy it is to see and know that side of him.
