The other day is tomorrow with its pitfalls and threats, its dangers and mystery. Until the sun rises again, I have no stake in tomorrow, for it is still unborn.

Og Mandino

I have wasted so many days of my life, lost in the deep sighing over “why’s”, lost to anger over injustices that stung incredibly, cried rivers of tears over inexplicable disloyalties, dishonesties, and unfairness touched by my very soul, and witnessed together with you, the endless and on going atrocities towards our fellowman throughout our world on television every night. Hours of our lives have been forever lost, wasted hopelessly in the search for answers unknown, and now, have stockpiled into more years cumulatively than we dare to count - All of the past is beyond our control forever.

Today I bought two Clematis for the trellis arbour: one a deep purple with a golden centre and double petals, called Royalty; the second a soft pink, also with a golden centre and a profusion of petals. I will weave them gently among a sweet smelling, deep pink climbing rose. I can’t wait for blooms, I can’t wait for the earth to really warm; I can’t wait to smell sweet summer breezes, and see the warm evening moon surrounded by shimmering stars in the sky. I want to lie under the trees that I tend with love, and take in their shade as I try to close my eyes and find a gentle dream to make me smile.

Seize the day. All the yesterdays of our lives are gone…But today, the incredible beauty of today, is ours to create a new beginning and to work in empowerment and joy towards every goal of great importance.
