An excellent day
    is one in which I
open my heart,
    speak kind words,
offer presence, hope, encouragement,
    leave my ego behind,
pet a passing dog,
    see just one thing in nature
that makes me pause and whisper, "Wow."

What's your excellent day?
    And are you having one?

Charles Dickens:

    No one is useless
        in this world
    who lightens the burden of it
        for someone else.
