“Look to this day, for it is Life, the very life of Life;
In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence…
the Bliss of Growth, the Glory of Action, the Splendour of Beauty.
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
and Tomorrow only a Vision;
But Today well lived makes Yesterday a Dream of Happiness
and Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.
Such is the Salutation to the Dawn.”

Thank you, Lyn [or is it Lynne?]. Happy Christmas.
Happy Christmas :), it’s Lynne, but whats yours, as you seem to have two names and I am not sure which to use 🙂 🙂
I dont mind. Some friends still call me Isabella/Izzy and that’s fine. Legally I am now Elisabeth, my original birth name[ aka Lizzie, Lis] changed back by Deed Poll a few months ago.
Ah, now I understand, so Lizzie is its, I like Lizzie 🙂
That sounds good. Thank you.
