Each day is special 每一天都特别-(111122)

:qq55] [p=30, 2, left][color=red][b]“千万不要把东西留到什么特殊日子再用,其实生命中的每一天都是特殊的日子……”直到现在,我仍然认为他的这席话改变了我的生活。“将来某一天”、“总有一天”之类的字眼已从我的词典中彻底消失。对那些值得去看,去听或去做的事情,我都会立刻付诸行动,毫不耽搁。[/b][/color][/p][p=30, 2, left][b][color=#ff0000][/color][/b] [/p][p=30, 2, left]A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:[/p][p=30, 2, left]"This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package." He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on. Was saving it for a special occasion.[/p][p=30, 2, left]Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said:[/p][p=30, 2, left]"Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".[/p][p=30, 2, left]I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less. I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day. I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it. I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now.[/p][p=30, 2, left]I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.[/p][p=30, 2, left]She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come. I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... letters that i wanted to write "One of this days". I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brothers and sons, not times enough at least, how much I love them.[/p][p=30, 2, left]Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.[/p]

After reading this article,I really have a lot to share and to say with u all.

Why not we always say to ourselves that we so regret about haven't have chance or time to do this or to do that or to have a try?

we all know the reason,but we don't like to or easy to recognize.

"Day" will not wait for us all the time.

SO,I decided,I do right now.
