Celebrating Today

Happy birthday to today.
Every single day is a birthday—for someone, somewhere, life begins anew.
A baby is born, a fresh breath is taken, and the world welcomes another first day.
Even the birthday song, sung without much thought, suddenly feels like a hymn to life.
Today is the first day of someone’s life.
And yet, how easily we forget the wonder of that truth.
Yesterday’s today, tomorrow’s today, and the today we’re living right now—
each one is a first.
We often treat today like just another copy of yesterday,
but it’s not.
So take a moment.
Stand up, stretch your chest, breathe deeply.
Welcome today like it’s brand new—because it is.
To everyone embracing this day: congratulations.
