Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

Every day is a privilege and why do I act otherwise.  I act as if my days are endless and as King Solomon says, ‘Life is but a vapor.’

I waste (our) days sometimes.  I act as if my time on this earth is infinite.  I know.  I have been there repeatedly.  I have to remind myself each day is a gift.  I know I am a master of rationalization.  I act as if I will be forever here.

It is marvelous what a shower and putting on clean clothes (and dressing nicely) does to your attitude.  I am saying today matters.  I will respect my time here.  It is truly a gift.

It is so easy for me to fall down in the dumps to use a cliche.  I really have to work at it and sometimes from the outside first and my attitude towards the day will change.

Every day I am on this earth is a privilege and I have to treat it as such.  I really matter to the one above so I have to give him the respect due and treat each day that the Lord brings me as a gift.  It really is.

Act as if your day matters.  That means preparing yourself as if you were going to get guests or were going to be in public.  That means to me, first shaving and putting on my Brut.  If I need a shower, taking it.  Getting dressed properly.  Putting on your shoes and clean clothing on.  And not trampsing around the house in slippers.  It really does make a difference in your attitude.  By all this preparation you are telling yourself this day matters and I will not waste it.  You may not feel that right away but the rest of you will follow if you act as if the day matters.
