12/12/12

Everyone has been making a big deal about today's date; about how they've never seen it before and will never see it again. At first I was the same way, thinking I'd never see another 12/12/12 unless I lived to be 130, but then I realized something.

Yes, this is a date I've never seen before and am quite sure I'll never see again (living to 130 is a bit more than wishful thinking). But you know what? Today is a day I'll never see again. Who cares what order the numbers fall into? Every day is a gift, because the next is not for certain.

“It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. 

Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. 

We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; 

and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.” 

--George Harrison

Live for today. The only thing special about a date (day) is how you live it. Numbers are just...numbers.
