Today’s Thought and Question for September 17, 2025: Time is a beautiful gift, are you using it to be happy?


Time keeps moving whether we notice or not. The real question is: are you happy with how you’re spending it?

Today’s Thought of the Day and Question of the Day hit me right between the eyes:
