“Today is your day,” reads the inscription on my tea cup. Today was a good day. I spent the morning as a judge in a speech contest. A Humorous Speech Contest, took place. All of the contestants were funny. Some talked about growing up, parenting, teenagers, and being single. There was a wide range of topics. It was the best time I had in a long time. Afterwards, I had lunch with some of the participants.
I did feel a little melancholy because some people did not attend. One contestant was a mentor of mine. He is very accomplished. He has transformed his entire personality from shy and quiet to outgoing and loud. I can relate to him on many levels. He did not attend our lunch.
There were things I wish I could have said to him. I did not. I kept quiet. There was a sense of awe and wonder. I wondered how he accomplished all he did.
I may have a conversation with him soon. He is so accomplished that his schedule is quite booked up. I don’t know when I will get the opportunity to find out some of his secrets.
Today was not the day to talk to him. Some days you get a sense that it was not the day to talk to that particular person or the right time.
Hopefully my day will come. It was not today. I will know the right day when it is time.
