Seize the day

     Why wait? Seize the day! Seize the moment! I waste too much time in thinking about tomorrow. When the true reality is, tomorrow might not come. My worry is wasted. My day is wasted. Putting things off and not seizing the day, not seizing the moment. It's not a good quality to have. Sometimes I try to cram too much into the day that should have been more thought out. By the end of that day, I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. Putting things, important things like praying my Rosary or going to daily Mass before the workload, makes me feel like I have correct time management. Lots of times I think to myself, I will be able to fit it in at a more reasonable hour. It never ever works. I'm either too tired or feel rushed and that makes the intention unprofitable. I like to say my prayers slowly. I like to close my eyes and think about the words that I'm saying. I like my Masses meaningful. Any other way can make me feel like I didn't give God the sincerity that He deserves. He deserves every part of me. Anything else is second grade and He is a top-notch, First Rate God. He waits for us to "seize the day" by starting it off with Him. Our Mother Mary deserves the best of us also. She's always ready, just as our God, to fly to our needs in just a blink of an eye. 

     I must remove the "distractions" and replace them with the "attractions". Seizing the day with more vigor for the Honor and Glory to God, who gave me that day. Replacing the lost moments with more thankfulness and gratitude in my surrender to Him who always makes time for me. 

     It does not say, "seize tomorrow", it says "seize the day!", and that's just what I'm going to do.
