Today
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
two days which should be kept from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with its mistkes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyound our 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 said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our control. Tomorrow 's 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 si 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 elernities -- Yesterday and Tomorrow -- that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives you mad -- it is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow will bring...
