Just For Today

Yesterday I met a stranger ...
Today this stranger is my friend.
Had I not taken the time
To say hello
Or return a smile
Or shake a hand
Or listen,
I would not have known this person.
Yesterday would have turned into today
And our chance meeting would be gone.

Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me ...
Today they are gone ...
And tomorrow will not bring them back.
Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew
Tomorrow would be here?
But this is not to be ...
So take the time TODAY
To give a hug
To give a smile
To say "I love you."

JUST FOR TODAY,
~ smile at a stranger
~ listen to someone's heart
~ drop a coin where a child can find it
~ learn something new, then teach it to someone
~ tell someone you've been thinking of them
~ hug a loved one
~ don't hold a grudge
~ don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
~ look a child in the eye and tell them
how great they are
~ don't kill that spider in your house,
he's just lost so show him the way out
~ look beyond the face of a person
and into their heart
~ make a promise and keep it
~ call someone, for no other reason
than just to say "hi"
~ show kindness to an animal
~ stand up for what you believe in
~ smell the rain, feel the breeze,
listen to the wind
~ use all your senses to their fullest
~ cherish all of your TODAYS
