CHAPTER 1, PAGE 24

Today I will delete from my diary two days: yesterday and tomorrow...

Yesterday was to learn and tomorrow

will be the consequence of what I can do today.

Today I will face life with the conviction

that this day will not ever return.

Today is the last opportunity

I have to live intensely,

as no one can assure me that I will see tomorrow's sunrise.

Today I will be brave enough not to let any opportunity

pass me by, my only alternative is to succeed.

Today I will invest my most valuable resource:my time,

in the most transcendental work: my life.

Today I will spend each minute passionately

to make of today a different and unique day in my life.

Today I will defy every obstacle that appears on my way,

trusting that I will succeed.

Today I will resist pessimism and will conquer

the world with a smile,

with the positive attitude of expecting always the best.

Today I will make of every ordinary task

a sublime expression.

Today I will have my feet on the ground,

 understanding reality and the stars'

gaze to invent my future.

Today I will take the time to be happy

and will leave my footprints and my presence

 in the hearts of others.

Today, I invite you to begin a new season

where we can dream that everything

we undertake is possible and we fulfill it,

with joy and dignity.

Good Morning !

Yesterday my Dad was admitted to the hospital. At a routine checkup they found an abnormality with his heart, so he’s in for observation and hopefully they’ll find out what’s wrong. I should know more later today. Please join me in saying a little prayer for him .

My sister that cares for him will be going in to be with him at the hospital and will let me know as soon as they know something for sure.

Of course , I’m off to work as it’s payroll day. I’m the only one that can do it, otherwise I might have taken off. It does seem that Dad will  probably need a pace maker put in and I'll be going to visit him this evening.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

 David Viscott

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart.
