Good Tuesday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from a hazy sunny day in SW Florida with a current temp of 74° and warming up to a balmy 82°! Dawn & I are headed over to JetBlue Park to watch the Boston Red Sox take on the Baltimore Orioles in an early Spring Training ballgame!
Prepping now, so only spotty RP participation, this morning & afternoon... I will finish my reply before I leave for the game... LOL!
I'm back and rarin' to go! “Last/Best Day of Your Life Day!” Great topic Mike! This should be quite interesting!
"If one really thinks about his or her Last Best Day and is a lover of life, then one will be on a perpetual journey for that Last Best Day...and his or her's life will be fulfilled"... Kerry F. Harkins February 25, 2020
1) "Be content with what you are, and wish not change; nor dread your last day, nor long for it." - Marcus Aurelius
2) "For there are three ways of performing an act of mercy: the merciful word, by forgiving and by comforting; secondly, if you can offer no word, then pray - that too is mercy; and thirdly, deeds of mercy. And when the Last Day comes, we shall be judged from this, and on this basis we shall receive the eternal verdict." - Mary Faustina Kowalska
3) "I wish everyone could wake up with a birdie on your shoulder, reminding them that this could be your last day. As you get older, you see how rapidly the years and decades fly by, so I would encourage anyone, no matter the age, to seize their life and be fully present. Savor every moment and go after your dreams. Be relentless in pursuing your happiness." - Theo Rossi

I expect that you realize that purposefully endeavoring each day to be a blessing to others in meaningful ways to them is a great way to improve your own life as well as theirs Kerry.
I pray that you and I are increasingly sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that we recognize HIS ‘voice’ and are quick to respond, my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
Thank YOU, dear God for YOUR Word. YOU make it clear that we demonstrate our love for YOU by how we love each person who interacts with us or who crosses our path. YOU accept each of us as we are and love us so much YOU are sanctifying us.
I pray that YOUR light cleanses each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters and YOUR light radiates outward to everybody we interact including those who cross our pathway walking and driving.
I pray that each one us guards our mouth and restrains our tongue as we drive and that we remember to pray for anybody who offends us while we drive.
I lift teachers, educators, elected and appointed officials; newscasters and news editors; talk-show hosts; twitter, Instagram, and Facebook users and others who have followers to YOU. I pray that YOU motivate each one to become more respectful of those who hold viewpoints different from their own and that we are becoming more gracious, compassionate and honest.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Tuesday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from rainy Nothern VA. The computer hasn't had enough coffee yet...
If you lived as though today were your last day, what would you make sure you accomplished? is there someone you need to call; a hug that needs to be given? Some place you want to go or a prayer to be said? And if you were asked to make this a "best day" what would you add to your plan? Maybe if we think about our time from this perspective instead of a long "to do" list, our view would change our priorities.
