Today is my favorite day of the year!

As I get to know new friends, I like to ask them a simple question:

What’s your favorite day of the year?

Some choose a holiday.
Some choose their birthday.
Some hold a sacred day dear to their heart.

For some, it’s a day of loss.
For others, a day of freedom they will never forget.

Some tear up just thinking about how to answer the question.

And some have never been asked the question before.

I love it because it’s not something I can guess.

Their answers are never cliché.
They aren’t a stereotype.
Whatever the answer, it usually surprises me.

And almost every time, when someone shares their answer, I feel something for them.

That’s where real connection begins.

For me, the date changes from year to year… but it will always be The Day I am reminded of the most important truth I hold sacred.

My friend… what’s your favorite day of the year?

My best to you,
