One Day at a Time..

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

One of these days is Yesterday with its mistakes & cares, its faults & blunders, its aches & pains. 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 adversaries, its burdens, its large promise & poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise 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 leaves only one day.. Today. Anyone can fight the battle of just one day. It is only when you & I add the burdens of those two awful extremities, Yesterday & Tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad - it is remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday & the dread of what Tomorrow will bring.
