What kind of day will you have today? 

An honest day, a day of kindness, a forgiving one, a day with time and an ear for the elderly and a smile for the foolishness of the blatantly arrogant.

What kind of person will you be today? 

A patient one, a person who listens to others, one who meets a financial need – small or large – of at least one other person today, a person who offers respect to people even if it is not returned.

It will not be by accident if you and I can ease into our beds this evening having had the kind of day and having been the kind of person as outlined briefly above. 

It will be the result of a plan. 

It will be the result of making decisions before we need them. 

No doubt, unexpected things happen and get in the way and upset the best intentions. The best designed apple carts can be upturned. 

None of the unexpected is likely to ruin your day if you have sat down and made a plan about what kind of day you want and what kind of person you will be. 

It is really rather simple, and, well, what have we got to lose that’s not already worth losing?
