YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW

YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is yesterday with 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.

The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow.
With its possible adversities, Its burdens, 
Its large promise and 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 unborn.
This just leaves only one day . . . Today.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -
yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad.
It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday 
and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore live but one day at a time.

Does Life begin at 40?

It has been almost 2 months since my BIG 40!!!  I did not post on my birthday. I approached turning 40 as this  glorified event, hoping that my life would magically change. Oh it has...I've have to make some big girl decisions and really face some of my fears.

What 40 now means to me... it means that I am still searching to find out who I am. It means, not being negative and learning to accept change.  It means, not using "can't", "hard", and "fear" as go to words in my everyday vocabulary.  It's about learning how to say "no" without guilt. It's about asking for help without feeling like a burden or a failure. It's about learning to let go and taking chances.  It's about seeing what is beyond your front door.  Turning 40 is about...ME!!!
