"Breaking Dawn"

No, this is not about the Twilight Saga of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen but this is the part of day that has become a favorite of mine since I included exercise in my daily routine (I walk at the oval track in our city).  I wake up at 5AM, get ready and I reach the tracks around 5:30 am.  (Sometimes I start later . . . it all depends on the Little One, hehe)   

Skyline view from the tracks at dawn

After a few rounds of walking, I see the skyline changing and see the sun's rays slowly setting in, heralding the start of a brand new day.

Hello Sun!

Seeing this makes me thankful for the brand new day because it means I have another day to live, another day to be with my loved ones, another day to be hopeful, to make amends, to be a better person.  Another day to enjoy life because each day is different from the last one.

I would like to share with you an inspiring quote from Groucho Marx:

Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself:  I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.  I can choose which it shall be.  Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.  I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

We don't have to look for Happiness anywhere else.  It is within our reach because Happiness is a choice we can make each day that we live.  

Be happy and be grateful for a brand new day!

Carpe diem!
