Today’s tools await us to apply them to a new creation. There are people we’ll meet. There are people we live with. There are things we’re planning to do. There are unexpected events. There’s the weather. There’s our work. These are the tools we can use to create a spectacular day. What is the focus of our day. Is it confined to ourselves? Or, do we dare broaden our vision to include other people? We have in front of us an opportunity to make today something special for those we encounter as well as ourselves. What are you waiting for? Time’s a wasting.

Today’s Thought: Tomorrow is Where We’re Going
Imagine you’re walking across a river on a solid plank. The plank is two feet (61cm) wide. The distance across the river is 200 feet (61 m). What will happen if you walk on the plank looking over your left shoulder at the receding shoreline? I hope you can swim. To get safely across the river we focus ahead knowing where we will place each succeeding step. When we constantly look back in life, we can’t get ahead. If we focus on where we want to go, we initiate the parts of our brain that create our desired future, set goals, and problem solve to increase our chances of success. Yesterday is over. Today is what we have. Tomorrow is where we are going.
Today’s Inspiring Quote: Let it Go
Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today. ~ Will Rogers
Thinking Out Loud: Today and Tomorrow are Linked Together
If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one. ~ John Galsworthy
NOTE: Tomorrow is where we will end up when today is over. What will your tomorrow look like? Our tomorrow has its genesis in today. Today and tomorrow are intertwined. One cannot live without the other. When we live fully in the present moment we can focus our efforts on making our tomorrow brighter. I am writing this post as south Texas is experiencing an Artic blast. We had freezing rain overnight and the current temperature is a frigid 20 F (-6.7 C). Prior to the Artic blast arriving, I covered my plants to protect them from the freezing temperatures and ice. With a bit of luck when warmer temperatures arrive in a few days my plants will have survived. In a way this illustrates the connection between what I do today and the tomorrow I want to help create. Whatever you do today, make it add to the creation of a brighter tomorrow for you and those you love.

I enjoy reading fiction. When I finish a book (usually an ebook) I return it to the library and download a book I have yet to read. I look forward to the mystery with anticipation. It’s a way we can approach life. Let yesterday go, look forward to today with great anticipation. Here’s wishing you the best day ever.
