Today, at this very place and time, will be the only guaranteed opportunity I will ever be blessed with to change the way I think and act. Right now, at this one given moment, I can rediscover and rekindle the true me, that somehow or some way got lost, tarnished, maybe even broken in a world indifferent to individual hurts. All of my yesterdays have gifted or burdened me with success, failure, joy and grief. None everlasting, and none really forgotten. As for tomorrow, it gives hope, the foundation for dreams, and tomorrow hints of promise, but never offering that calm or comfort needed for peaceful rest, that rest I’ve always wanted, always sought. I realize today is all that matters, because today is reality, and its directness is visible in all that surrounds. Its hours and minutes are lived and its possibilities unlimited. Today is given to me as merciful chance, one more gracious grant to be all. If I let forever or later steal my set resolve, then I have foolishly gambled away god’s gift.
