Each new day is a gift. Today I will open the day slowly, like a present that’s wrapped in hours.  I will be open to what my world offers me.  The world comes to greet me like an old friend each morning.  My daily habits comfort and ground me.  The thought of moving into my day pleases me.  Life unfolds one second at a time and today I will be present to witness it.  How much of my life do I let pass by unnoticed?  How many of my feelings go unfelt?  Today I will recognize that my time on earth is limited.  I choose to value my life a day at a time and embrace it while I have it.

                                  I am open to life

The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”
