Today Is The Day

Today is not yesterday and today is not tomorrow. It is today and you can get started on your way to wellness…today!

The excellent thing about today is that it doesn't matter that you smoked two packs of cigarettes last Thursday. Today you can choose to not smoke any Marlboro Ultra Lights. Today you can let your lungs start clearing out all that bad stuff you've been putting in there for so long. Table for you for today.

It's amazing to think that today you can start drinking your recommended daily eight cups of water. It really doesn't matter that you have been drinking six cans of Pepsi each day for the last month. What truly matters is that you want to make a change now and introduce your body to that old friend H2O.

How wonderful that today is not tomorrow and that you can immediately eat more fruits and vegetables than you have been eating as of late. Your neighborhood grocery store has grapes, carrots, plums, and string beans and they are all just sitting there waiting to make your acquaintance today. Never mind that your past hasn't been too cozy with these foods. The calendar says it's today and it's certainly OK to start anew.

That six year grudge you've had with your sister-in-law can happily end today. It is not important that there was not a cease fire three Thanksgivings ago and it is not healthy to keep up the anger for several more holiday seasons. You have all of today to let that bad baggage go away.

Your garage has your bicycle hidden amongst the clutter that keeps your car relegated to driveway mode each night. Today is a terrific opportunity to get that two wheeled beach cruiser out of hibernation and back into active service. The bike pump will be your wingman on this tour of duty on this day filled with 24 whole hours.

Within that two car garage of yours are Frisbees, baseball gloves, a basketball, and an assortment of other sporting gear that hasn't seen daylight in many moons. It's so fantastic that you can gather all these objects together and take them on your bike ride to the downtown park for some recreational rambunctiousness. It's even better that you can have all that fun with all that stuff today.

It's simply exciting that today you can find several sets of stairways in all the buildings that you visit. No worries if you haven't used one of these in awhile. They are quite user friendly and you don't have to wait for them like an elevator. You simply put one foot in front of the other and hold on to the railing. They can take you up or down and they are available for use all day and every day but especially today.

There's not anything more that can be done with yesterday and tomorrow is already the busiest day of the year. That leaves today to get on your way to wellness. Let's get going!
