Gift of life

Every dawn brings in a new day wrapped as a gift - a gift that may or may not be what you wanted, a gift that might just be ordinary, or maybe something that amazes you. Whatever be the case, every morning, at daybreak, life knocks on your door, with 24 brand new hours. Open it up, admire it  and don't forget to say thanks to the Giver, for there will surely be one day for each one of us, when the gifts will stop coming in. 
Do you wake up, feeling curious about what the day will hold for you? Does every day feel like a new day to you or an extended version of yesterday? There are days, when I just wake up, taking for granted the new day offered to me and then there are days when you watch the sun rise and realize what a miracle it is for your eyes to be seeing such a glorious sight.
Life flows, we are an extended version of our yesterday, preferably a better version. Yet learning to welcome each day with open arms, each new experience as a gift, a fleeting gift, is what living is ultimately about. The more we feel abundant in our gifts and miraculous life, the more we will share our joy.

We have the choice to take the best of the past and use it to guide in  our future.

So appreciate the blessings, the people in your life, acknowledge and let go of negative people and incidents, because the lighter you travel, the easier the journey will be.
