<>_<>Grateful for the new day . <>_<>
How many of us get up in the morning feeling truly grateful for the day? Most of us wish we could turn the clock back and keep sleeping. The truth is, when you are happy to wake up and are grateful for the day, your life does change.
Each new day is an opportunity to pray for your loved ones and to act in a loving manner towards them. I start out by saying my prayer of thanks and asking for guidance and help from all available resources. I find I am always grateful for the new day, no matter how hard it is or will be, because I know I am not ready for my days to end. After all, the alternative to waking up and facing another difficult day is death. For all I know, after death the unenlightened may be sent back to wake up to the glory of the new day and its opportunities.
I want to experience more days and the difficulties and opportunities they will bring. I want the chance to test myself. Maybe this makes me a glutton for punishment, but if I can help one living thing get through the day and not hurt anyone else in the process, I go to sleep thankful for the time I have been given and eager to awaken to tomorrow.

The gift of today
You have a wonderful, beautiful, valuable gift with which you can literally transform your life. That gift is this day you’re now living.
This very day is overflowing with rich and meaningful possibilities. The value of this day is here and now, right in front of you.
Life’s great abundance is here on this day for you to put to good use. Today you can choose, you can learn, you can act, and you can make real progress.
Today has limitless potential. Yet for that potential to be transformed into value, you must make use of the opportunity of today while it is here.
Today is much too valuable to waste. Its magnificent possibilities are already here, so step quickly forward and make the most of them.
Today is a priceless gift that’s yours to live right now. Joyously fill it with your own unique flavor of life and achievement.
