Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (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 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 immediate 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 have said.

Yesterday is gone.

The other day about which we should not worry is Tomorrow,
With its possible adversities,
Its burdens,
Its large promise and poor performance.
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrrows sun will rise, either in splendour or behind a mask of clouds,
But it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
For it is as yet unborn.

This leaves only one day.
Today.
Anyone can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow,
That we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad.
It is remorse or bitterness for something that happened Yesterday,
And the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore live,...but One Day At A Time!
