What would be fun for you to do today? And if today is an ordinary work day, what can you do to make your work day today more fun? Why not have more fun whatever you are doing today? Why not make life today a walk in the park?
Why not be exhilarated today? Why not give yourself the gift of enthusiasm?
Someone is going to be enthusiastic today, and I ask: Why not you?
If you have to clean house today, make it fun. You can make anything fun. When you were a child, you knew how to have fun. You knew how to play. Play today when you are at work. Make work play. Make it light, and you will get more done, and you will get more done with alacrity. Whistle while you work.
Have a heyday today! Ride a merry-go-round. Enjoy. Be in suspense. What will happen next to delight your heart?
What exhilaration are you going to give today? What exhilaration are you going to give to the world today?
If you cannot find it within yourself to brighten up someone else's day today, at least brighten your own. Take an interest in uplifting your life, your bit of life today. Just take care of today. Open up your life. Lift it above the ordinary. Make it sparkling. Make your day the delight of all.
Work with your heart today. That is to say to encourage your heart today. Invite it out of itself. Invite it to enter the domain of fun. Bang the drums of fun. When you wash your face today, splash the water. Listen to its sounds. Remind yourself about the days when splashing water was play. Remind yourself when everything was play. Skipping in puddles was play. Walking to school was play. Whatever you were on your way to was play. Remember when play was play.
Remember when just being alive was enough, when being alive was good, when life was new, and something fresh kept coming up, and you had the energy to play tag and hopscotch and chase your dreams. Chase them now.
Have a dream that today will be puddly and wonderful and delicious.
Look forward to today, or the rest of today today, and make your life today a song like this:
"Hello, Today. Come right in. Bring your wares to me and animate me. Today and today and today and forever, I am alive on Earth today in order to be vibrant and alive! I relish each day. I am excited to be alive today. Come dance with me, Today! Let's go around the mulberry bush. Let's play Hide-go-seek. Let's be flying birds today and swimming fish and playful puppies. Let's be everything today. Let's take flight and soar. Let's be kites today. Let's be balloons. Let's be everything fun today. Let's find fun in unexpected places. Let's smile big. Let's laugh loud. Let's take delight and be delightful.
"Today, let's run upstairs. Let's go somewhere we have never been before even if it's right where I've always been. Let's have an adventure today, even if we explore where I sit in the chair I am. Let's gallivant through our day today, Today!
"Today, let's make today a parade. Let's make today a holiday as I am at work. Let me look forward to holidays and work days. What do I care what day you are, Today, and where I am. I am alive on Earth, and we spend today together on Earth. We are explorers together, and we do not know ahead of time what treasures we shall find. We only know that we will find them, for I have an eagle-eye for treasures. I can spot them anywhere and everywhere. I am a treasure-hunter, and together, Today, you and I are on a treasure-hunt!"
