From Your CRIT Counselor: Enjoy Today

When the leaves fall from the tree, they can no longer return to the tree. The same thing happens with life. We can never recuperate each day that passes.

Sometimes we spend our lives so focused on what we had or what we want for our future that we do not take time to acknowledge and enjoy today. Each morning we are allowed to experience a new journey. The journey has unexpected turns. It is smooth at times and bumpy at others. The journey can sometimes be more exciting and adventurous than the destination.

Let us cherish each day. Love, live, laugh, and allow yourself to be loved. Make each day count. Smile more, compliment someone, and tell your family how much you love and appreciate them. When trying to look at the positive side of things, we are not negating that things are challenging or hurtful. We are trying to make the best of each experience and learn. We cannot relive yesterday, but we can certainly choose to enjoy and learn from today. May each lesson we learn make us stronger, wiser, and able to enjoy tomorrow when it arrives.
