Each day, life offers you a blank page in the book of your existence. Your past is already written and you cannot change that. In its pages you can find your history: some pages have soft colors, others, darker shades; beautiful remembrances of happy times or pages you wish you could tear out forever.
Today, you have the opportunity to write another page. It’s up to you to choose the colors it will have, for even in adversity you can add soft pastels of serenity to turn it into a beautiful experience. Today … How will you write your day?
It all depends on your will and optimism to perform today’s page in the book of your life into a page that you will treasure as a beautiful remembrance in the future.
If you knew you had only one day to live, what would you do?
No doubt, you would make peace with God and with those around you. You’d enjoy the golden rays of the sun, the gentle breeze, the love and affection of that special and the many blessings the Lord has given that we sometimes take for granted.
Enjoy the new day! Take a mental inventory of all good things in your life and live each hour with cheer, giving it your best. Do not harm others and be happy to be alive and able to give a smile and offer others a helping hand.
It’s never too late to change course. Start anew and write fresh pages of happiness and peace in the book of your life.
Thank God for his gifts of Today and the opportunity to turn this day into a beautiful new page in the book of your existence. Remember that in spite of adversities, problems and difficulties, it’s up to you how you live today … as if it were your first day, as if it were the last … or the only day in the book of you life.
