Today is a gift from God - that is why it is called the present.
Treat every moment as a gift, that is why it is called the present.
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be.
