Thank you for your universal good wishes, Darla.

Thank you Darla! I am a little late in responding, as I am living in Mexico and I don't have internet service in my house yet. It is nice to have a new friend and I appreciate you thinking of me and extending an invitation for friendship

Good morning Darla! I wanted to leave an inspiring message for you to start your day:

Salutation to the Dawn

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of beauty
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow only a vision
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore to this day!

Such is the salutation to the dawn.

- Kalidasa, Indian Poet
