Groundhog Day Fantasy

Only a few more shopping days ‘til Groundhog Day, folks. How time slips away, each day gone leaving every one of us one day closer to the last day of our lives. This is the corollary to the old hippie idea that, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” It could equally be the “last day of the rest of your life.” The point here, whichever way you choose to approach today, is that it’s an opportunity, an opportunity to do the right thing, an opportunity for greatness, and perhaps, an opportunity that may never come again. In the movie “Groundhog Day”, time keeps repeating itself until the hero finally finds love. What a wonderful fantasy. We keep getting life Mulligans, do-overs until we get it right. The operative word here is “fantasy”.
