Today, I choose to be happy, to love and to be loved in return.
Today, I choose to live, to give and to enjoy recieving.
I choose not to look back, not to look forward, but to remain in the present.
I choose to enjoy the joy of feeling incredibly light and alive,
I choose to be strengthened by the conviction that the best things in life are indeed free.
I choose to hold on to the assurance that no matter how awkward my movements are,
No matter how unsteady my gait might seem,
this roaring sea will settle down to the quiet of a lullaby.
I know that today is a precious gift.
A day that I must treasure.
And, I choose to accept this gift, this treasure.
So, I have chosen today to be happy, to love and to be loved in return.
And whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll always have the privilege and the memories of living, of loving, of giving and of receiving.
