I was given this by a fellow writer, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

TODAY LOOK TO THIS DAY,For it is LIFE; The very life of life. In its brief course lie all the truthsand realities of our existence:The bliss of growth,The glory of action,The splendour of beauty.for yesterday is but a dreamand tomorrow is only a vision;but today, well lived,makes every yesterday a dream of happinessand every tomorrow a vision of hope. look well, therefore, to this day ---such is the salutation to the dawn. ( Translated from 4th century Sanscrit)
