THE DAY AFTER

Ok, here it is, the day after Valentine's Day.  Some are excited because all the candy and chocolate are at a discount at the store. 

But is there just a little bit of a let down?  Like the day after your birthday...or the day after Christmas...or really any other event or holiday that you have been planning for weeks to prepare for, then *POOF*, it's gone.  Has the love that we expressed yesterday, because the calendar said "February 14th," somehow gone away?

I want to propose to you (nice play on words there, don't you think?) that the way we express LOVE, during our BEST YEAR YET, is a love that is always ON!  "Always, Tim?"  YES....ALWAYS.

A good way to do this is to have your life...your LOVE WALK, be like "7-11"....ALWAYS OPEN! It isn't a one day a year thing only relegated to a day in mid-February...or even a few days during special holidays (Valentines; St. Patrick's; Easter; Mother's Day; Father's Day; your birthday; etc.). 

Make the "bouquet" of each day fresh.  Remember, this week, we talked about maximizing each minute...each moment so dear.  Each day, we have the opportunity to MAKE it how we want it.  There is so much promise that each new day brings us.  How we respond is OUR CHOICE.  

I like to tell people, on their birthdays to "MAKE today DAY 1 of your BEST YEAR YET!"  In reality, every day we wake up is DAY 1 of the rest of our life...but are we still looking back? Looking back to when times were better...or maybe it's looking back on all the past mistakes and it's hard to see ahead.  I want to say to you, whether in love or in life, your best days are not behind you. 

My encouragement to you today is to embrace this "DAY AFTER"....extend and express love and not look back...because you're not going that way!  The REST OF YOUR LIFE will be the BEST OF YOUR LIFE!

Hey, it's a new day.....DAY 1 of your BEST YEAR YET!
