“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”

Mother Theresa

I hope you have as good a day as mine will be. The highlight will be lunch at a local steakhouse with a number of my fellow neighbors. As usual the day will include a nap or two, my favorite pastime. Anyway it is up to us to make today a good one.

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

by: Author Unknown

Today is the tomorrow I worried about yesterday

And today was such a lovely day,

that I wondered why I worried about today yesterday

So today I am not going to worry about tomorrow

There may not be a tomorrow anyway

So today I am going to live as if there is no tomorrow

And I am going to forget about yesterday.

Today is the tomorrow I planned for yesterday

And nearly all my plans for today did not plan out the way I thought they would yesterday

So today I am forgetting about tomorrow and I will plan for today

But not too strenuously

Today I will stop to smell a rose

I will tell a loved one how much I love her

I will stop planning for tomorrow and plan to make today the best day of my life.

Today is the tomorrow I was afraid of yesterday

And today was nothing to be afraid of

So today I will banish fear of the unknown

I will embrace the unknown as a learning experience full of exciting opportunities

Today, unlike yesterday I will not fear tomorrow.

Today is the tomorrow I dreamed about yesterday

And some of the dreams I dreamt about yesterday came true today

So today I am going to continue dreaming about tomorrow

And perhaps more of the dreams I dream today will come true tomorrow.

Today is the tomorrow I set goals for yesterday

And I reached some of those goals today

So today I am going to set slightly higher goals for today and tomorrow

And if tomorrow turns out to be like today

I will certainly reach all of my goals one day!

“The moment is everything. Don’t think about tomorrow; don’t think about yesterday: think about exactly what you’re doing right now and live it and dance it and breath it and be it.”

One hand on wheel, one hand on horn: New York

One hand on wheel, one finger out window: Chicago

One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly on accelerator: Boston

One hand on wheel, one hand cradling cell phone, brick on accelerator: California; with gun in lap: L.A.

Both hands on wheel, eyes shut, both feet on brake, quivering in terror: Ohio, but driving in California.

One hand on latte, one knee on wheel, one hand cradling cell phone, foot on brake, mind on game: Seattle

One hand on wheel, one hand on hunting rifle, alternating between both feet being on the accelerator and both on the brake, throwing a McDonalds bag out the window: Texas city male

One hand on wheel, one hand hanging out the window, keeping speed steadily at 70mph, driving down the center of the road unless coming around a blind curve, in which case they are on the left side of the road: Texas country male

Both hands on steering wheel in a relaxed posture, eyes constantly checking the rear-view mirror to watch for visible emissions from their own or another’s car: Colorado

Two hands gripping wheel, blue hair barely visible above window level, driving 35 on the interstate in the left lane with the left blinker on: Florida.

If I were here more often, I wouldn’t be gone so much.

A wife, one evening, drew her husband’s attention to the couple next door and said, “Do you see that couple?  How devoted they are?  He kisses her every time they meet. Why don’t you do that?”

“I would love to,” replied the husband, “but I don’t know her well enough.”
