One of the most beautiful things we can appreciate and value every day is undoubtedly the miracle of life. To wake up and open your eyes and see the light coming in from every corner of the room; to move your body in that discovery of being able to do so, to get out of bed and be thankful. For years I have heard my mother say "thank and bless, because you woke up to life and you have one more day", the depth of that phrase as a child was always incomprehensible in the philosophical sense, because when you are a child you do not know anything about waking up with one more day, when you are young you do not worry about it and only when the years begin to run beyond those we already want to count we realize how valuable it is to have one more day.

One more day to treasure those who are with us, those wonderful people who fight our battles and in the deepest silence understand our pain and rejoice in our happiness. One more day to love what you are and what you do for yourself with your hands and with your life. One more day to value what mother earth, this common of all, gives us in her best demonstration of humility, greatness and perfection. One more day to concentrate on what is truly important. One more day to overcome my fears and reach my goals.

One more day in which I do not fear death because I understood long ago that it comes and it will come at any moment and the only thing I can do while waiting for its arrival is to live intensely, one more day. Living in the firm conviction that I am what I have always wanted to be, I do what I love, I look for the best in every aspect and situation, I hug my loved ones tightly, I kiss the love of my life as if that were the last kiss we will give each other, I look straight ahead and speak clearly, I resolve what I must, I close small chapters of my story and at the end of the day I go to bed with a clear conscience, the satisfaction of having contributed and added to my existence, as well as to that of others and I simply close my eyes in gratitude and with the same faith with which I woke up I surrender to rest and wait for what the creator of the universe decides. Whether tomorrow will be or I will have another day I do not know but today is and will always be the best day of my life.
