My
favorite days are the ones In Between.
Everybody has a certain amount of routine which naturally
gets sifted into their lives. Life then
invades our time with dinners out, shopping trips, birthdays, party's special
events, deaths, funerals, visits to the hospital and on and on. Sometimes it’s bigger interruptions like
planned trips to places you have never been before, sort of mini adventures
away from your stomping grounds and venturing in to a new region of the world
just over the horizon.
Most people spend their lives living from one special event
to the next. They have to have something
to look forward to, a reason to check the days of the calendar to count down to
that next big event. They live the rest
of their life just getting by, doing the least amount possible to just get
through to that next event.
I live for the days in between the events. The events to me are an interruption of my
work, my life, my time that I use to accomplish my goals the time I spend with
my family. The in between times are the
normal every day days of our lives, where you read another chapter or two in
the book you are reading. Get another
chapter finished on the book you are writing, or write another blog post. It is another lunch by yourself, dinner with
the family and catching up with what is going on in their lives. It’s listening to the radio and singing along
with it. Wearing comfortable clothes and
not trying or having to try and impress any body.
It’s the in between times which are the back bone of our
everyday lives and moves us to the special moments. It’s the wise use of and the really hunkering
down and enjoying the in between days that add up to make an ordinary life an
extra ordinary life. People don’t notice
all that you do. The kind word here and
there. The many things you have done
just a little bit of work on today and everyday in between, which are slowly
and quietly adding up to an inconceivable level over days, months and years.
So if you don’t have anything special going on today or
tomorrow – relish in the fact that it is a in between day and knock yourself
out taking full advantage of it. Suck
the marrow out of life. Carpe Diem! Slow down and smell the roses. Express yourself! Share the love!
Make everyday, especially the in between days, the best and
most productive days of your life!
