So in case you may have missed it, today is the day after that day, Dec. 25, that everyone knows as The Day.
But every day is also a day after. And so I got to thinking about what other are after days.The day after a venture capitalist funds your company.The day after you get fired from that job.The day after you get a speeding ticket and are lucky you didn’t get killed.The day after you had your first kiss.You get it. Life is a series of days. And if you are alive, you get the day after.
For the last column of the year there will be no recounting or remembering of a 12-month history. I will leave that to others. Why should I ask you to relive death, guns, the midterms, the madness, the war, the market, the housing or lack thereof, the homeless, the local political hacks who buy and sell favors, our year of living dangerously and often stupidly — enough said.
For me, my year will end as it started with enormous gratitude. As your days after become shorter, you are more energized about making the most of the day before. You can never go wrong quoting old Romans, in this case the poet Horace, 2,000 years ago, who was the first to write “carpe diem” —- seize the day. I am gently suggesting that since none of us can truly see the future, then for this next year, I am going all in on the day before.
