It is so easy to examine the day and find only those things that will overwhelm us. Consider each new day one more gift from God and promise yourself you will try hard to fill it with pleasant moments.
Time is an express train and despite the myriad stops on its way to the last station, it moves at breakneck speed, obvious to us only when we squint our eyes to see a black spot of it gone into the far-off distance. We know this is true because we can all remember when we were carefree children, easily provoked to laughter and inclined to believe the world held secrets unlocked by magic. What happened? Where did all those happy years go?
Let's try to bring them back. Let's start today by pretending our dreams are still as fresh as when we were young. Let us promise ourselves we'll laugh today and everyday, every chance we get. Smiles should brighten our faces, and even when our sorrows and worries and pains seem to insist we frown and complain, let's say no to the blues. Let's live today as if our living made a tremendous difference in the grand scheme of things, which we need to believe it does!
