    The Essence of a New Day – This is a new day. 
    You have been given this day to use as you will. 
    You can waste it or use it for good.  What you do
    today is important because you are exchanging
    a day of your life for it.  When tomorrow comes,
    this day will be gone forever; and in its place
    will be something you have left behind...let it
    be something good.                -Anonymous
