Just a Day!

  Each 24 hours is really an empty space that is provided to us! We can mope in a corner and then say "The day REALLY!!!! suc*ed" Yet, If we did nothing or little with the day, then it would be FAR more fair to say , " Today, I really!!! suc*ed".

   A few month after he retired, the Yankees in the Spring of 1969 had a Mickey Mantle Day. Mickey was lavished with gifts and the crowd cheered and cheered and cheered.. Mickey, during his remarks made this comment, " I've often wondered how a dying man could stand here and say " Today, I am the luckiest man on Earth". Well, Today, I know just how Lou Gehrig felt!"

Lou Gehrig in 1939 and Mickey Mantle in 1969 both saw the value of an individual day.
