Today is my
birthday, 39, I am not afraid to say.
It is just a number, 39. It
means for 39 years I have had an opportunity to create a story. Parts of my story are great and parts are
not. But it is my story
nonetheless. We each create a story
everyday – our goal should be to inspire others with our story.
When
writing, we use commas as pauses or when listing many items. Semicolons are used to link two related
thoughts. Periods are used when we are
finished with our thoughts. Your life,
your story is continuous. There are no
do-overs, start-overs, erasing, ignoring or re-creating your story. It is what it is and each day ends with a
semi-colon. Because tomorrow you will
link another related section to your story.
I hope that my story doesn’t end for a long, long time. But when it does, I pray I end it with a
period or an exclamation point, not a question mark. Today, I follow yesterday’s semicolon; I begin another part of my
story – 39 and counting. How about
you? What follows your semi-colon
today?
