Best Days

Did you know that every day can be a Best Day?

Hayley & Genevieve

Well, it can.

Today was not showy. I have taken exams...done homework...practiced piano...talked to friends...gone to Walmart. Nothing sensational. Nothing super significant. Nothing flashy.

But today was a Best Day. Why, you might ask? Because when I went to Walmart today with my lovely & wonderful & incredible friend (and roommate), Hayley, I got a small flower pot and it's the prettiest flower pot that I have ever bought (I named it Genevieve). Granted, that may be because I've never gotten a flower pot...but it still gave me a huge smile. It sits in front of our door and soaks up the sun and is peppered with little purple buds. It's a happy little thing, and I can't wait for it to bloom.

And that is how every day can be a Best Day. All you have to do is find something about your day that was the best. It can be something as simple as seeing the best sunset, or having the best conversation that you've ever had with a certain friend, or eating the best strawberry, or maybe just giving your best smile. Don't belittle these small things, because they constitute the pieces of life's grand puzzle.

Today hasn't been showy, sensational, or flashy. But it's important, too.
