To the best of my calculations I have lived 24, 059 days.  So today is my 24, 060th day (including leap years).  I note that because I figure that we all have our own days, and each of our days ends up being different from the others.  We have some good days.  We have some bad days. Some are terrible and some end up being outstanding, quality, special days.  I know that 'circumstances' do help make a day, but I have finally figured out the things that work for me to shape my day into one on the positive side of things.  It follows that I also understand how I can live a day that ends up less then I want.  In fact, I suppose that most of what shapes my days does depend on me and not on those circumstances regardless of how good or bad they may be.  Now you will note that I say that I 'know' something of this thing, but I confess that I don't always 'do' as well as I 'know'.  Never the less, I know that I have to take responsibility myself for the results of any given day.  I am still working on that, but after 24, 059 attempts I have actually learned a thing or two.  So I see this '60th' day as another challenge in my long line of challenges and I hope to see it rise to its potential and be at least 'good' if not better.  If it doesn't I will take the blame and start my challenge all over again in the morning.  If it does; I will take the blame and start all over again in the morning.  Right now my hopes are high and I see potential.  I also have to take heart when I really and truly evaluate where I really stand.  That's called 'counting your blessings' and that is certainly a key ingredient in any new day's success, but something so often overlooked.  It makes it easier when one realizes how good a starting place we have.  So whatever your # is for today take charge and make of it what you will, but know it is pretty much your choices that matter.
