Think back and notice the progress that you've made and the changes you've experienced in your life, note them down so that whenever you feel like giving up they will remind were you've come from. There's nothing much else I can say, continue to thank God for what He's done for you and share it with other's. How you feel in life is a choice, so everyday continue to choose to live that day to the full, to give glory to God, help those around you and spend time doing something you love. Remember the choices you make today affect how you will live tomorrow. Choose not to be depressed, choose not to hold on to hurt and anger, choose to let go and live in peace daily so that you will be able to live life abundantly. If I can do it, so can you.

When you awake, tomorrow morn
Open the shades; greet each sun ray
A new beginning shall be born
A start from which you’ll never stray
The skies above, so crystal clear
Will pave a path to brighter hours
Your heart will be embraced by cheer
As you move from yesterday’s showers.
When you awake, start with a smile
The best, my friend, is yet to be
Promise to make your time worthwhile
Then, you will find bliss shall not flee
Approach the future, filled with peace
And you will see when day is through
Contentment, unable to cease
Will have made its way there with you.
When you awake, come next sunrise
Take time to say, “I love myself”The twinkle shining in your eyes
Articulates your inner wealth
As you head down your path, have trust
That good tidings will come your way
Then carry on, howe'er you must
While you behold a joyful day

Take Hold of Every Moment

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:
"This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package." He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.
"She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on. Was saving it for a special occasion.
Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said:
"Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".
I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less. I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day. I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it. I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now.
I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.
She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come. I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... letters that i wanted to write "One of this days". I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brothers and sons, not times enough at least, how much I love them.
Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

Psalm 18: 1-3
1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
