Why not today?

Do you ever tell yourself "tomorrow"? Some verbs that most commonly precede this adverb:

  • do it
  • start
  • stop
  • run
  • go
  • call him/her
  • pray
  • quit
  • give
  • clean
Or maybe you're too excessive. In that case:

  • watch less
  • diet
  • spend less
We say tomorrow is a new day, today is a new day, but how often is it really not? It's really just the same day as yesterday. Maybe it's better to ask yourself  "Why not today?" instead. What's stopping you from doing it, starting it, doing less, forgetting it, and remembering it right now?

What's really holding you back?



They say the first year is hard because you're going through it for the first time. You're still learning the ropes, making mistakes, and it still is fresh. The next year is suppose to be easier and perhaps by the third and fourth year you've gotten in nearly perfect. Hear's the thing...you can rarely perfect anything. The closest thing to perfecting something is simply a habit. 


It's nice to have met you Don. You seemed surprised that I had awoken you and I would be too or maybe I wouldn't be because I would have gotten used to the traffic that comes by being out there as along as you have. I always see you there and I want you to know that I thought about you and cared for you tonight. If you have been feeling like nobody has noticed you, I hope that I reminded you that that's not true. I hope the quickly cooling tea kept you warm for a brief moment on this cold night. You reminded me of how thankful I am. So thank you.
