There is so much hate in this world. Look around, read the news, watch as people become hostile to one another. Love hovers above us, within reach if only we aspire to seize it. Nothing more than a warm smile and eye contact with a stranger can brighten a day. Our lives consist of moments. All we are afforded is “Now.” Squeeze every drop from your life’s lemons. Share your lemonade with those thirstier than yourself. Appreciate the light in your life, and understand that nothing lasts forever; indeed, this makes it more valuable. When you depart from the company of family members and friends, resolve issues before they build up and ruin your relationships. Otherwise, you may live your life with grief and misplaced guilt. We cannot control the past, but we are capable of slowing down to embrace the world around us as it is at present. Let love conquer hate, and may we welcome each day as if it is our last.
