Howdy... "It's beginning to look a lot like X-Mas....everywhere we go....da..da.da...da...." Wow, and it's gonna hit a nice and steamy 79 degrees here in Nashvegas today....whoa!!! Yes....my kinda Arizona weather LOL..... So today's Friday email has a little to do with some conversations that have come up recently...in fact, two within the last week. And I didn't even bring it up. So here's yer sign right ;-) Livin' for today What does that mean? I know everyone can interpret it differently, however I have a feeling we all understand what it means to us. If you have kids, it might mean spending a little less time on the computer and goin' outside to play with them...(if weather permits LOL) or play inside..... If ya have a significant other, it might mean spontaneously goin' to a movie, or a picnic at the park instead of worrying about stuff you feel needs to get done....(no worries, it'll be there when ya get back right?) Often, and i'm guilty of it as well, we feel like things will get better when we get that raise, get the promotion....when we get a record label deal (o.k. that might just be me... ;-) you know, that stuff we look to in the future......... While it's good to look to the future to inspire us today, do we sometimes get a little lost in it? That life will be good when.........things will get better when......... i'll be able to do this or that when.......... Or do we wake up each morning (i'm tryin' to make this a ritual) so appreciative of what we have now that we're overwhelmed with gratefulness? The air we breathe, the love and support of our loved ones and family, send a message or call somebody ya haven't talked to in a while and let em' know how much they mean to you....and i mean a personal reflective email....not one you can just forward ;-) Call Mom or Dad, heal old wounds, love the world through the eyes of a child......these are just a few things....... We're only guaranteed today....so why worry about tomorrow? I hope ya have the most amazing weekend......fill it with love and laughter...... Be blessed...be love...inspire.... ryan "ryno" nicholson www.ryannicholson.com www.myspace.com/ryno
