I try to catch the sunrise every day. There's nothing like hearing life stir as the sun peeks over the horizon. With each one I witness, I remember I have the opportunity to begin again.
Each sunrise gives me a new start in life, whether it's offering an apology for hurtful words, taking action to become a better person, or even changing my life direction. I have the opportunity for a "do-over."
A "do-over" isn't necessarily about correcting a past mistake, as the words might imply. It's more about putting life on a different track or moving in a different direction. It's hard to do the latter if we see each day only as part of the big picture of life. But, if we look at each day as a small part of the big picture--the living that makes up our life--the change we desire is far less overwhelming.
The privilege of waking this morning granted each of us the opportunity for a "do-over." We should make the best of it, don't you think?
