COT: YHC described the David Letterman show with Warren Zevon’s last performance. Warren previously publicly disclosed his terminal cancer diagnosis. When asked by Dave asked if he had gained any insight Warren’s response was to enjoy the little things “enjoy every sandwich.” Understandably, we focus on the big life events (big vacations, graduations, etc.), but the vast majority of life is comprised of the day to day. Enjoy every sandwich seems like good advice to YHC.

CoT: In the film, Groundhog Day, the main character played by Bill Murray at first hates his life and the town he is stuck in. However, as he repeats each day, he eventually finds peace and happiness through self improvement and serving others. Eventually, he gets the point of loving the town and ends up living there when he is free from repeating each day.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” — C.S. Lewis

Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

We can’t go back and change the past, but we can change the future. It is our daily decisions to do what is right that will make the difference.
