This Very Moment

What day is the most
Important day of your life?

The day you were born?
The day you achieved your goal?

The day in the future 
When you will accomplish something?

What day is the most
Valuable day of your life?

It is not yesterday which
Has passed and never to return

It is not tomorrow
Or any day in the future

Which has not yet arrived
And no guarantee you will be there

The most precious and important
Day of anyone's life

Is today here and now
This very moment 

That you are conscious 
And aware of your being alive

That is the most precious day
As every each day to come

To be today

LOL

Proud bunch of people

Planet proud

Rich people are proud
Because they are rich

Professors are proud 
Because they are professors

Doctors are proud 
Because they are doctors

Lawyers are proud

Because they are lawyers

Musicians are proud
Because they musicians

Artists are proud 

Because they are artists

White yellow black brown

And all the shades in between

Are proud because

They are who they are 

All the ethnic groups 

Proud of their ethnicity

All nationalities are proud

Because of their nationality

Religious leaders are proud

Because they are religious leaders

Activists of all fields are proud
For being activists 

Any and all forms of status

At all levels with different titles

All proud of their status

So proud of you me and everyone

Planet of proud people

Throwing accolades to one another

None more proud

Than those who perceive themselves

On top of the hierarchy

In whatever occupation or hobby

Bowing their head to no one

Perhaps only to God even if that much

But no one else

Not in million years

All so proud of themselves

Praising one another

You are great

No you are great

No you are greater
You are greatest

Thank you thank you

You are so kind

I am so humbled

Anything else big or small

Can be fixed 

If not by self
Then at the auto mechanic

All which usually cost
Less than a new car

Even if all costs are combined

Always cheaper to fix

Burned out headlight

Replaced at home for $20

Of course this only applies
Calculation makes sense

With American cars
And most cars from Asia

But not European cars

Especially luxury brands

Where oil change alone

Can cost hundreds 

Which deprives the owner

Not only of their money

But also the unique satisfaction

That can only be experienced

From fixing your own car

Not paying someone to do it

Which most domestic car owners
Will say it is worth more than
