This is not a normal Kim blog but in a meeting today I heard the reflection below and thought I would share it:
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and also apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all 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; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either 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 to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Take life one day at a time......

Wow! Definitely not a typical Kim blog, but very powerful! Thanks for sharing!
Like it!
this is the nicest thing I have read in a long time. it certainly is good to think about at a time when I am very unhappy with my job.
I love it! It goes along one of my favorite quotes, "Today is a gift from God, that is why it is called the PRESENT."
Wow, such a great piece to read. And is it just so true. Thanks Kim, this was nice!
Thank you for sharing that Kim. Words to remember and live by.
