So yesterday for part of the day  I was in a crappy mood, for 100 million reasons but not one good one. See I had forgotten a truth that my mom taught me, "All you have is today, and really all you have is right now, because at any second God could take it away." ...and then she'd ask me what does today hold for you? I'm reading a book about UCLA basketball coach John Wooden.  He Created his whole coaching and life philosophy around one sentence. "Make Each Day Your Masterpiece".  Some coaches would get their players to focus on big games but Wooden always focused on today, right now... be it some game that didn't matter  or practice or whatever. My mom and John Wooden had the thought... that there was no reason not to make today the greatest ever, there was no reason not play as hard in practice as a game. Sometimes I wonder about a day being a microcosm of our lives. Your born ( you wake up) You live ( your day) you go to sleep ( you die).  Maybe we really do  live our whole lives everyday, day after day. Why not go to sleep thinking "Today I did the very best I could in every situation ,with what I had."
