The minute you are awake
have a positive thought.
Pluck the day when it is ripe.
Every moment on this earth is precious
whether we have many winters left
or this is our last
Feel the warm sun on your face
but trust in tomorrow as little as you can.
Waste no more of your precious life.
For while we are talking
envious time has ebbed away
Carpe Diem
Sieze the day

Love it. Too often, I lay about in bed getting up the motivation to start my day. Sometimes, tho, I just jump out of bed and seize the day. It's amazing. It's always such a joy to start one's day with enthusiasm- so Carpe Diem indeed!
So true, each moment is precious, treasure them all.
Each of us PHILLIP ~ irrespective of our circumstances ~ is granted a pristine 24 hours every single day of our lives. Why do so many people waste time ? When it's gone it's gone. Thanks for reminding us ~ BRIAN
