I was going to post this earlier.  You make me think of it.


so heres one for you




Where is the yesterday that worried us so?
--Joan Walsh Anglund


In the fairy tale The Last Dream of the Old Oak Tree, the oak tree felt sorry for the day-fly. The day-fly only lives for one day, and the tree was already 365 years old. But the day-fly was so enjoying his one day that the tree's sympathy puzzled him. The day-fly said to the tree, "You may have thousands of my days, but I have thousands of moments to be pleased and happy in."


And so the day-fly continued to dance in the sun and smell the clover and honeysuckle. His day ended as happily as he spent it, and he settled down on a blade of grass.


If all of us could approach our day the way the day-fly does, as though this were our only day, we would spend less time worrying about yesterday and tomorrow.


How can I show my gratitude for the gift of this day?

Keep one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow and you'll be sure to pee all over today
