Thought for the week:
--------------------
An old Sanskrit poem:
Look to this day, for it is Life,
For yesterday is already is dream,
and tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived,
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
An english saying:
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is mystery
Now is the present
Accept the gift.
