"Embrace life and enjoy it, your past lead to the present. When past memories come, enjoy it. It is the past that gives you present enjoyment so enjoy the present. What are you doing with the life that has been given to you. A NEW DAY. Behold the fresh and new has come. Embrace the past - enjoy the present. Good things are going to happen to you." ~ Regina S. Anthonypillai
