24 hours... you can use it any way you wish. You can spend it doing nothing, or something. Texting, singing, flirting, cursing, doing for yourself, or others. Being... happy, angry, sad.
Today, without any money, you will "buy" what it is that is important to you. Hatred/kindness, good thoughts/bad thoughts, family/friends, anything.
At the end of the day, know that you invested one entire day of your life. Ask yourself if you spent it wisely, if you will reap the benefits or suffer the consequences of what you invested in, because what you bought cost you one entire day of your life.
Here is a submission opportunity for all my writer friends.

A $0 entry fee makes this a must. Thanks Linda! And thanks for the reminder that the quality of our thoughts manages the quality of our lives.
If I can ever motivate myself to write anything again, I may give this one a go.

Lovely words for us today Linda. I guess that, living here in England, I wouldn't be eligible to enter this writing competition - ?
Thanks, Linda. I am feeling stirrings of beginning January stuff. Maybe it is just the weather which is SO, SO January!
What a great way to look at it. And thanks for sharing!
Good food for thought, Linda. Thank you for the heads up about the contest!
Oh, dear. This just gave me a flashback to a submission horror story at the end of last week. Perhaps I'll be strong enough to tell the tale in a few days.
In the meantime, thanks for the link. Maybe I need to get back up on that horse.
Thanks for sharing - I'll add this to my list of things to write for... and hope your knee/ankle is better.
Hi Linda....Hope your MONDAY is terrific! I'll invest in happiness, too! Susan
Thanks for the heads up Linda! I need to get back to writing for myself. I'm so busy that I haven't made time lately!
