Surviving Abuse Friendship & Education
December 1999
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
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 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
adversaries, its burdens, its large and poor performance. TOMORROW is also beyond our
immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor 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. Any person can fight the battle of just
one day. It is only when you and I add the YESTERDAY and TOMORROW that we break down. It
is not the experience of TODAY that drives people mad it is remorse or bitterness for
something which happened YESTERDAY and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.
Let us, therefore, live but; One Day At A Time!
