Thank You For Today

Dawn: a new beginning of a new day
This is a beginning of a new day,
I can waste it or use it for good.
What I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will
be gone forever… leaving in its place
something I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, not loss:
good, not evil: success, not failure:
in order that I shall not regret
the price I paid for today.
This is my wish for your day, today and every other day…
This prayer has been on my bathroom mirror for years. I wish I could say that I remember to say it every day as it really fits my intentions when I start a new day. More often that not, I remember it at the end of the day… which makes me reflect on the day that is ending.
Google is amazing… Since I could not remember where I found it, I Googled it and actually found it! Author unknown.
