Something wrapped

I guess I’m supposed to write about something wrapped. I feel like going unconventional…

            I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that’s why they call it the present.” (Do they have that phrase in other languages?)

            But how do you unwrap the gift that is today? I mean, gifts don’t do any good if they are always wrapped and never used. Or is today unwrapped when you take off your pajamas? And that raises a whole bunch more questions and disturbing pictures, so let’s just skip over those and say that most people would consider the days they get to stay in their pajamas a gift (but not the days they only get to stay in them because their sick. Those days are no fun).

            Is it unwrapped when you first open your eyes? Some people open their eyes in the morning like the door is being opened to let their executioner in. But that is kind of the point. Not everyone sees the value of every gift. Just because we aren’t excited when opening the gift doesn’t mean it won’t be great.

            Yeah, I like that idea. I want to open my eyes in the morning like I’m opening the best gift in the world. I want to think of every morning being Christmas or my birthday. I want to value every day that way. Because everyday isn’t everyday, it’s today, another day to live, love, laugh, and experience all life has to offer. Some days seem big, but are they really better than the everyday?
