A while back my sister Farrah put some quotes on her blog. I love them all but there is one that really stuck out in my mind and that I printed out and read often. Here it is:
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." -Author Unknown
We only have one life and that life is made up of days and those days are made up of hours which are made up of minutes. I love every part of this quote because it says so many things. We are given each new day to do whatever we want with it. We don't know how many days our lives will be made up of, and each day that we live is another day of our life gone by and we can never get it back. And it is true that we leave something behind each and every day. It is our choice what we leave behind. I would hate to look back on my life and see waste or hate or sadness or ingratitude behind me. I want to leave something good behind in the place of each and every day of my life so that when I look back, I can look back with no regrets, no sadness, nothing wanting. I want to look back and see joy and love and fulfillment and a life lived to its fullest. So go out to day and make it something great. You hold that choice in your hands.
