TODAY

TODAY – is the greatest day I’ve ever known, can’t live for tomorrow, tomorrow’s much too long. (Smashing Pumpkins)
 
How often do the small decisions we make in our life influence not only our own health, but the health of those around us?  I believe that every day we make decisions that have the potential to help create positive change or to create negative change. 
 
Did you decide to smile at someone?  Did you decide to eat a scone?  Some blueberries?  Maybe a grande latte with skim milk?  Did you decide to sleep in?  Did you decide to go for a walk?  Did you decide to tell a loved one “I love you”?  Did you decide to play video games?  Maybe skip the gym?  Did you decide to do yoga?  Did you get checked by a chiropractor?  Did you decide to pray?  Reach out to someone in need?  Did you take time to play with your children?  Did you set personal goals?  Did you check your football fantasy team?  Did you decide to meditate?  How is your posture?  How is your demeanor? 
 
The point is we are constantly making decisions throughout each day that influence our life.  If you are already purposeful with your life, being conscious about how each little decision ultimately is the expression of your life and health, then you are responsible to be an example to others.  If you are ‘drifting’ (letting life circumstances dictate your decisions) then TODAY is the day to step up and start making wise choices.  Not just the BIG decisions (who to marry, buying a car/house, where to place your faith) but all the small decisions as well.
