Love like there’s no tomorrow; know today!

Peace and satisfaction are realized when you’re comfortable and acquainted with the now. 


It’s here, always has been. Kind of like the faithful sun that rises and sets without fail, regardless of your observation or appreciation - it’s always there! 


The spectacular nature of your kids, your good friend, an old nursing home resident - it’s always there, if you could only slow down the pace of your mind to recognize it! 




Some of us are so caught up with the past that we cling tightly to a distant memory that keeps our passion from moving forward and enjoying the new that is abundant everywhere around us! 




The good old days, the way we were, if only............. Some of us are fixated on what the future holds, the possibility it could bring our muted souls.




 Maybe we fear the future because there are so many changes occurring, and we are comfortable right now. Time and change will only rain on your parade. 




Maybe you see tomorrow as the answer to where you are today, your salvation from today. 




 Regardless of your outlook on where you are today, where you were yesterday, or where you’re going tomorrow, you now have today. 


It’s here now - not a dream or beautiful memory, not a possibility of a brighter tomorrow. I see the sun now rising outside my window and think to myself, thank you (God) for another day! 




For another go around to enjoy my beautiful memories of yesterday, make plans for a prosperous tomorrow, but most importantly, to savor the essence and variety of today!
