@George,
Well. It seems we have conflicting views.
I think one day stands on its own merit, and in the big picture is no more or less important than the other.
Oh sure you may say the day your child was born has more meaning than the day you decided to sleep in late, or the day you had the flu, but does it really?
People "say" a lot of things.
I'm at my best when I realize each day, good , bad or indifferent is just as valid as another.
