Maggie's Thought for the Week: Every Day Is a Holiday

There are certain times of the year people race to be with their loved ones, spend hours decorating their homes, or exhaust themselves trying to find the perfect gift. The reason for this chaos? Holidays.

Maggie loved every thing about every day. She looked forward to walks every day at six in the morning. She twirled for her morning dental chew and night time cookie. Daily greetings to neighbors and chasing squirrels in the yard exhibited the same excitement as a toddler on Christmas morning.  Although these things were routine, to a stranger, one might think it was a special day... a holiday.

We all need to remember that every day should be viewed as a holiday. Every day is a gift. Another day to spend with loved ones, make our world a better place, and remind friends how special they are to us. A holiday should not be the only time people rearrange schedules for family dinners or spending time with old friends.

What if everyone gave true thanks for the gift of every day- every day?
