A magazine I subscribe to asked readers to contribute an essay about the most important day of their lives.
Let's see. What WAS the most important day of my life?
Besides my birthday, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, the first day of spring, the first day of summer, the first day of football season, the first day of autumn, the first day it snows, the day before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer and the day after that, the first day I had chemo, the last day I had chemo, the day my hair fell out, the day my hair started to grow back, the day I first saw a hummingbird at the bird feeder, the day that ....
Let me rethink that question and answer.
Yesterday was the most important day of my life.
Today is the most important day of my life.
Tomorrow will be the most important day of my life.
Okay, so I have it now.
Any day I wake up and I'm alive and well. That's the most important day of my life.
