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. 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 promise and poor
performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise in splendor or behind a mask of clouds,
but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day...Today. Any one can fight the battle
of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of
those two awful extremities; 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 which happened
yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow will bring.
