"Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow"

I want to share a poem that I was given at a meeting in Florida when I was in rehab.  I was given directions on how to use this poem.  I was told that I must read it everyday for 22 days and then I must look back and see how much it's changed me.  So I did exactly what they told me and I saw a change :)  I hope it does the same for you :)


 "Yesterday, today and tomorrow"



There are two days in every week we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.


One 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. Nor can we erase a single word we've said - yesterday is gone.


The other day we shouldn't worry about is tomorrow, with its possible adversities,


Its burdens, its large promise and poor performance.


Tomorrow is beyond our control.


Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendour or behind a mask of clouds but it will rise. And until it does,we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.


This leaves only one day - today. Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.


It is not the experience of today that drives people mad - it is the remorse of bitterness for something that happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.


Let us, therefore, live one day at a time!


So, if anyone is out there reading this (and I SO hope you are) I wish you peace and happiness today.  Stay in "today".  You can do today.  You can do "right now" and just for today, forget the rest!  Give it to your higher power or just forget it for today.  I give you permission to give yourself a break and relax :)

Love you all!  Have a safe and blessed day <3
