Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

6/22/2011

One of my friends on MySpace posted this, and it kind of stuck with me. With all 
that is going on in the world, and even in our private lives, these profound words put
things in a different, yet simple perspective. There are days when everything seems
overwhelming and out of our control, but then a new day is born, with its new challenges,
and hopefully new solutions.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Category: Writing and Poetry

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

One 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.
Nor can we erase a single word we've said.

YESTERDAY is gone!

The other day we shouldn't worry about is TOMORROW. With its impossible adversaries,
its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds  ----but it will rise.
And until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day --- TODAY. Any person can fight the  battles of just one day.
It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and  tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of today that drives people mad -- it is the remorse of bitterness
for something which happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may
bring. Let us, therefore, live one day at a time.

    The majority of all these entries were written by Darrel's father, Stephen.  For those that are not, efforts have been made to give proper credit where it is due.

    The bulk of the posts are in the June 2011 Archives Section, as that is when I transferred them over to this site.  Category Tags should allow you to find entries easier.

    I've tried to correct spacing issues on many of the entries, as most of the older ones have been copied from different sites I've used in the past. I apologize if some have been overlooked.
