Gems of Wisdom: You can make this day whatever you want it to be.

The very moment you wake up in the morning you can decide what sort of day it is going to be for you. It can be the most wonderful imaginable, but it is up to you. You are free to make the choice. Be determined to be ultra-positive today, to expect the very best and draw it to you. Have absolute faith and confidence that you can and will do it.

Sometimes the only sense you can make out of life is a sense of humour.
