Today is a new day, unlike any that has come before it. It is a completely blank slate, and as such I can do whatever I want with it provided I don’t violate the rights of others. This new day comes unencumbered by past fears, prejudices, and mistakes. It is an opportunity to reinvent myself if I don’t like what I see in the morning mirror. It is like heading off into an inscrutable and unexplored wilderness, with all of the anticipation and excitement such a journey should engender. Today is a new day to explore–all by myself if I so choose–and I feel undeservedly blessed to have been handed something this sacrosanct. I understandably and thusly do not plan to waste it.
