28、   We sat on the swing （秋千）enjoying the warm summer air, truly without a care in the world. Cody, my 6-year-old son laughed, as he swung h【1】 than me. His laugh made me smile. Afterwards, we went for a walk.

We didn't really do anything s【4】. There was nothing we did that cost any money. It was just a c【5】 day.

But then, I found out my p【6】. So often, we wait for our “best days” without r【7】 that “today is our best day” or we say, “when I get this”, or, “if only this”, or, “when I have more money, I will...”, and we forget to live every day, to enjoy today.

There is a saying, “Carpe Diem” which means, “Seize the Day”. As we get older, we need to remember this saying and enjoy every day. Live each moment to its fullest!
