thanks for asking.

"how was your day?" a good friend just asked me.

"it was okay", i responded. and as i sat and gave that question a little bit more thought, i suddenly realized, "hey, my day was pretty awesome".

i think it is safe to say that we (or at least i) may sometimes take some of these magic moments in life for granted. today, just like any other day, will never happen again. each day we may walk down the same streets, past the same people, to the same places, and yet somehow what we see is always different. somehow what we experience is completely unlike any other experience. more high-resolution and deeper thought out than any movie plot or video game, and yet with absolutely no effort. it just happens. it just is.

how can we not appreciate this?

today was very special. i spoke to people i have never spoken to before. i thought of ideas that i have never thought of. i sketched out things i never knew were in my brain. i smiled like i have never smiled before. i laughed like nobody was watching. and it was all perfect, all effortless, all just because i was blessed to wake up for another day. i will remind myself daily not to forget this and hope to remind others of this by always asking…

how was your day?
