Today


Look to this day . . . for yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision . . . but today well-lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

  4. :) No, it isn't me - it's a detail from a painting by Edmund Blair Leighton called The Hostage. Here's the link to view the full-size painting:

    The girl in the painting does look very much like me, however, with the long wavy hair and all, which is partly why I chose this painting.

    The way she is gazing out to sea also reminded me a little of myself - I thought "Yes, that would be me, staring into space and daydreaming." :)

  5. I must confess I knew it must be a painting, but I thought maybe you had attempted to do a real-life "copy" of it.
