A New Day

 

This is the beginning of a new day.

I have been given this
day to use as I will.
I can waste it, or use it.

I can make it a day long to be remembered for

its joy, its beauty and its achievements, or

it can be filled with pettiness.

 

What I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it.

 

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever,
but I shall hold something which I have traded for it.

 

It may be no more than a memory,
but if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price.

 

I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil,
success not failure.
