You’ll Never Have This Day Again. Make it Matter.

Summer’s in the air…at least in my part of the world, and so I’m sharing a mini-episode on my deep summer thoughts. Summer has always been my favorite season. It meant no school. Swimming. No cold weather. My birthday. Vacations. Barbecues. Now as an adult, I also appreciate the joy that I see in other people at this time of year. People are happier. They’re out and about doing communal activities like open air cinema or hanging out at an outdoor bar or cafe. They are going places. They are living life. I wish that we could maintain this vibrancy all year. As I’m recording this, we’re heading into August, which is kind of like the ‘Sunday Night Blues’ month of the calendar year. September is right around the corner. Back to the real world. For a lot of people, this means heading to work and heading home. But what if it wasn’t like that? What if we keep living our best lives all year long? This doesn’t have to mean globetrotting nonstop or packing our days full of activities. What if we prioritized simple pleasures and stopped wasting time stewing in anger, regretting things we can’t change, canceling plans with people we care about, and — this big one — not going after what we really want in life, because we’ll get to it someday, right? What if we remembered to have fun and actually prioritized and planned for this. What would your days look like if you woke up feeling in your bones that you will never have this day again?
