What is an Important Day?

By Nate Feldman

It's easy to say that every day is just as important as the last one, but there is no doubt that some days stand out more than others.  We can refer to these as "Important Days."  But what exactly is an important day?  I would say that important days are those that influence the coarse of our lives more than others.

Important days can be referred to as watershed moments.  This means that they change the direction of our lives and there is no going back once they happen.  There are the days that when you reflect on your life, you realize that your eventual fate was forever shaped by incidents that happened then.  Days such as your graduation, marriage, the birth of your child, or the death of a loved one just to name some examples come to mind when we think of days like that.  In all of these cases, the person you were before those days is often quite different from the person you are after them. 

Of course, the important days I am referring to there are the ones that happen in an individual's life.  Then there are important days throughout the year, such as holidays.  These days are often used to celebrate holidays or mark a special occasion.  It can be a religious or national holiday.  These days create bonds within communities and entire nations.  They remind us of who we are and where we come from. 

The truth is we should treat every day as important as one another.  But, in reality, there are some days that seem more important to us than the rest.  These are the days that are etched in our memories forever.  One thing I do know is today was a beautiful day.  Here is a picture I took while outside.  That should make it important enough.
