Memorial Day...Its a day in which we set aside to remember those who have laid down their life in service to their country. And yet, somehow, it has become a holiday where we substitute gratitude for a chair by the pool and patriotism for a charcoal grill lined with various meats. But what should it really be about? How do we make Mondays matter even when it does not require some of us to be in the office? That was the question I pondered yesterday. The answer I found was maybe a little out of the ordinary.
I didn't go visit a war memorial, I didn't sing patriotic songs (I don't think), but I did my best to not waste the time given to me! It would have been easy to sleep in, light the grill, lounge by the pool and maybe try to squeeze a round of golf in before the days end, but it would have been taking the freedom I have for granted. So instead I got up early, went and took care of chores and responsibilities I had been putting off, worked out and spent time with my wife. And at the end of the day, I felt so fulfilled.
Take time to (re)evaluate where your time is spent! Take time to do something that will have an impact outside of the 24 hour span you are in!
