It's great to see that St. Vincent's College in Pittsburgh has established The Fred M. Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media. Also in the works from Hyperion is The World According to Mr. Rogers: Important Things to Remember. Just as Fred emphasized that each person is unique, so is each day.
- Today is my now
It is special
Today is my now
It is special to me
Only this day is just like it
Like this day now, I like it
In the daytime
In the nighttime
Anytime that you feel's the right time
The moment is now, you see
It means the world to me, special
Today is my now
It is special to me
There's only today in this wonderful now
It is special

If you want some instant perspective on the value of a good day, or even a few good minutes, take a look at Dan's Cancer Weblog. I visited Dan yesterday afternoon. He was having a pretty good half hour in a pretty good afternoon on a pretty good day -- all of which you appreciate when you've had a day when you couldn't eat anything and even sitting up in bed felt like climbing a mountain.
Confidential to Dan: You've got a lot of people sending good vibes your way---your associates at the Eccles Broadcast Center, your freinds, fans, and family---we're so proud of you. We rejoice in your progress. We admire your strength and attitude. We hope you can feel this energy, this spirit, this encouragment during the tough days. We're praying for you, buddy.
