Today is new. Live in love, have an open heart, and see the truth: there are sweet surprises everywhere. The sweetest of (so many) sweet surprises will occur when you least expect it. Until then, or before that, what will happen? - Anything is possible. Let go of the past, and forget the future, for this moment is your life. And, this life's too amazing not to be sweetly surprised.
