Look To This Day, For It Is Life

Look to this day,

For it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all the

Varieties and realities of your experience:

The Bliss of Growth,

The glory of action

The splendor of beauty;

For yesterday is but a dream

And tomorrow is only a vision,

But today well lived makes

Every yesterday a dream of happiness

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore to this day!

Such is the salutation of the dawn.

——————————————- What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on

what you bring to the New Year. - Vern McLellan ————————————————————————————-

A New Year Begins, And Life Once More Offers The Bright, Pure Joy Of Possibility.

Wishing you all God’s Many Blessings in the New Year!
