There are 2 days in every week about which we should not worry, 2 days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed, we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone Forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow, with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance, tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet to be born. This leaves only 1 day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just 1 day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities, Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Then we shall live 1 day at a time.

I really like that and how true. The older I get I realize how wise the advice is from the scripture.
That is a timeless truth. I love it. I will pass it along to everyone I can. Wish I knew who wrote it.

To put it much shorter and not as nice ...if you have one foot in yesterday and one in tomorrow you are pissing all over today. I agree but so hard to apply at times.
"Today is a day unlike any other, for it will see what no other day has seen." -Sundiata
One of my favorite quotes. Great blog! Keep them coming!
