![]() I am sure most of us have heard Bil Keane's (yes, one "L" in Bil) expression, "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present." If you think about it, each day truly is a Present. It is one of kind. No day is identical. Each one has its own triumphs and struggles. I remember trying to sleep on Christmas Eve as a kid. No matter how hard I tried, the excitement for Christmas morning was unbearable. Trying to sleep was futile. The excitement of Santa Claus and knowing I had unknown and unexpected gifts awaiting me the next morning to rip into them. Christmas day to a kid can be one of the most memorable days all year. How can we make each day like Christmas morning? Is it even possible? Can we have days filled with excitement? Days that are memorable and have significant meaning? The answer is a resounding, YES! The most important question is, HOW? Without trying to sound, "cheesy" or "corny", here are 5 simple ways to make each day special or significant. 1. Leave random notes in unexpected places for your special someone. 2. Put your phone down and concentrate on "being there" with them. 3. Show gratitude to others. 4. Text them in the middle of the day, letting them know you are thinking about them 5. My favorite, sticking something under their pillow where they find it right before they go to sleep. Bonus: Throw their towel in the dryer before they get out of the shower so they have a nice warm towel to dry off with (& be sure to make the bed up while they shower).
