This is the first day.....

My title leads me to think about the meaning of "This is the first day of the rest of your life."

To me it means Today is the only day you can forgive yourself, renew your outlook, feed your optimism, and embrace your life (yesterday is history, and tomorrow hasn't happened) However, live this day fully (for it is one more day that you can no longer look forward to) and then think or plan for the possibilities of tomorrow...but be prepared to go with the flow and think on your feet. Life is full of lessons, and your choices and decisions are never cast in stone.

I have found that being honest and open with those who are in my life, whether temporarily or long term, will free my spirit and attitude to rise above the people and situations that are negative, pessimistic, or hopeless. It's crazy to do the same things over and over and expect different results. Don't you know that the only person you can change or will be changed the way you want them to be is YOU....No One Else!
