I liked the article. However, I have to say that Earth is an immersion learning experience. Every day we learn and we grow. Every day is something new. I always tell everyone around me, today I will stuff your head with learning. I stuff my own head with learning. But the highest learning of all is to love someone. When my daughter was only 4, she told me, "mom, this is all about learning new paths of love." OMGDS. I loved that! And she was one of those kids that always could tell you what was going to happen next. She knew intimately all of my beloved relatives that had already passed over, she knew things no one else would know.....I think everyone knows a special child like that nowadays. So, I'm not sure we have to count ordinary days. Count your days of love. The days you gave a hug, a smile, a kiss, health and happiness, the days you pray for someone, the days you asked the angels to pray for someone, the days you found a blessing. And there you are, life is soooo much easier, much tolerable. I send my peace and love and joy and blessings to you all today.
