Almost an eternity.

The lady in front of me in the checkout line was muttering to herself. 'My day has been shot,' she said. The implication was a wasted day. 'The day isn't over yet,' I said. I wanted her to get the message. That she still had time to salvage the day. To find an endearing moment. To savor it. Yes, that's all one needs to save the day. There was still 7 hours left in the day. Almost an eternity. If one puts the time to good use. --Jim Broede
