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.
