Today is Thursday, June 11th, 2009; Karen's Korner #1589
Just received "TODAY" this morning from Shirley Choat; hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It is written by 'Mark'; I don't know who Mark is. But thanks, Mark:
TODAY
Today, I will delete from my journal two days:
yesterday and tomorrow
Yesterday, was to learn from and tomorrow...
well, that will be the consequence of what I can do today.
Today, I will face life with the sure knowledge
that this day will never return.
Today, is the last opportunity I have to live intensely,
as no one can assure me that I will see tomorrow's sunrise.
Today, I will be brave enough not to let any opportunity pass me by,
my only alternative is to succeed.
Today, I will invest my most valuable resource:
my time
in the most transcendental work:
my life...
Today, I will spend each minute passionately,
to make today a different and unique day in my life.
Today, I will defy every obstacle that appears
on trusting I will succeed.
Today, I will resist pessism and will conquer
the world with a smile and a positive attitude
of always expecting the best.
Today, I will make of every ordinary task
a sublime expression.
Today, I will have my feet on the ground
understanding reality
and the stars' gaze,
and thus will invent my future.
Today, I will take the time to be happy
and will leave my footprints and my presence
in the hearts of others,
not just in the sands of time.
Today, I invite you to begin a new season
where we can dream
that everything we undertake is possible
and we fulfill that dream, with joy and dignity.
Today, why not perfrom a random act of kindness?
And if there are those that you love, tell them...
you don't know when it might be your last opportunity.
Tell them, as I have just done.....
today.
~~ MARK
