The setting sun is a glorious end to each day. Watching the sunrise is a quiet invitation—to pause, to meditate, to discover the blessings that light our path.

Roman philosopher Lucius Seneca once wrote, “Every evening we should look back at the day and think about it.”

What problems did I solve? What harmful habits did I change? What wrongdoing did I avoid? What good habits did I practice?

On this day in 1961, Diana, Princess of Wales, was born in Norfolk, England. She once said, “Carry out a random act of kindness... someone somewhere might do the same for you.” Her legacy reminds us how brief and precious life is. Some things are beyond our control. But kindness always matters.

Try this: Make a list of what’s troubling you today. Which pieces fall within your control? Which don’t? Release the rest. Then write a small, wise, and realistic plan—one that honors only what you can touch with your heart and hands.

And always, be happy. Celebrate the good. Notice the quiet victories. The kindnesses shared and received. Each one, a lighter ray.
