- Today, I was sitting on my front porch watching the neighbor’s kid have the time of his life with nothing more than a wooden stick and his imagination. MMT
- Today, I interviewed a woman who is terminally ill. "So," I tried to delicately ask, "What is it like to wake up every morning and know that you are dying?" "Well," she responded, "What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you are not?" MMT
- Today, I found out that I could become paralyzed at any moment in time due to a bad cyst on my spine. I went to work and listened to everyone bitch about bills, bosses, and family problems. When I got home, I kissed my boyfriend, hugged my friends, and appreciated the movement in my body. MMT
- Today, I met a five-year-old on the summit of a 14,000 foot hike. MMT
- Today, my father told me, "Just go for it and give it a try! You don't have to be a professional to build a successful product. Amateurs started Google and Apple. Professionals built the Titanic." MMT
- Today, while I was driving my grandfather to his doctor's appointment, I complained about hitting 2 red lights in a row. My grandfather chuckled and said, "You always complain about the red lights, but you never celebrate the green ones." MMT
- Today, I was in line at the store behind a man holding a dozen roses. When he got up to the cashier's counter, he realized that the cashier looked sad. The man smiled and said, "I'm buying 11 of these roses for my wife." And then he handed the cashier the 12th rose. She smiled from ear to ear. MMT
- Today, I created something just to create something. Just to feel alive and smile afterward at the creative mess I made. And you know what? It worked. I smiled. And I intend to smile like this again tomorrow too. MMT
- Today, I saw something I've seen a hundred times before from a slightly different angle. And now I realize that everything I thought I saw before was just an illusion. MMT
