Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow


Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow



Today is the tomorrow I worried about yesterday. And today was such a lovely day, that I wondered why I worried about today yesterday.

So today I am not going to worry about tomorrow. There may not be a tomorrow anyway. So today I am going to live as if there is no tomorrow, and I am going to forget about yesterday.


Today is the tomorrow I planned for yesterday. And nearly all my plans for today did not pan out the way I thought they would yesterday.


So today I am forgetting about tomorrow and I will plan for today. But not too strenuously. Today I will stop to smell a rose. I will tell a loved one how much I love him or her. I will stop planning for tomorrow and plan to make today the best day of my life.


Today is the tomorrow I was afraid of yesterday. And today was nothing to be afraid of.


So today I will banish fear of the unknown. I will embrace the unknown as a learning experience full of exciting opportunities. Today, unlike yesterday, I will not fear tomorrow.


Today is the tomorrow I dreamed about yesterday. And some of the dreams I dreamt about yesterday came true today.


So today I am going to continue dreaming about tomorrow. And perhaps more of the dreams I dream today will come true tomorrow.


Today is the tomorrow I set goals for yesterday. And I reached some of those goals today. So today I am going to set slightly higher goals for today and tomorrow.


And if tomorrow turns out to be like today, I will certainly reach all of my goals one day!

Awsome! Carpe Diem as they say.  Sieze the day.  I told hubby this last time that he came home from ICU: "You're not going to he..., and God doesn't want you yet.  So you might as well make the best of it while you're here."


Thanks for the reminder.


Love and blessings to you and the family.


Live strong,


Karilynn, hubby & Pipers Kitty
