This is not my own message - I took it from a post on another site. The lady who posted it saw it several years ago in the Akron Beacon Journal in Akron, Ohio. I can't say I'm very good at living the following message, but I'm trying. Hope it helps someone else, too.

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW -

There are two days in every week that 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.

The other day we shouldn't worry about is "tomorrow" with its impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor 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 which happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

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

P.S. Karen, love you too, mate. Wish you had more time to visit the porch, but I know you're busy as can be. Guess that makes us appreciate you all the more.

P.P.S. Thanks to everyone who posted about my "head bumping" incident. And thanks to those of you who didn't post that the accident "explains everything" about me! Heh, heh, heh.
