TODAY...

"It is a moment of light surrounded on all sides by darkness and oblivion. In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another just like it and there will never be another just like it again. It is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. It is the point from which all your tomorrows will proceed until the hour of your death. If you were aware of how precious it is, you could hardly live through it. Unless you ARE aware of how precious it is, you can hardly be said to be living at all. "This is the day which the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it". Or weep and be sad in it for that matter. The point is to see it for what it is because it will be gone before you know it. If you waste it, it is your life that you are wasting. If you look the other way, it may be the moment you've been waiting for always that you're missing. All other days have either disappeared into darkness and oblivion or have not yet emerged from them. Today is the only day there is."
Today,it is beautiful in Tulsa Oklahoma...68 degrees, sunshine, light breeze. I and my loved ones have their health, their minds, (well, most of them do)and good jobs to feed their families. The weekend is coming up and Rick and I are spending it together...we may not remember what we did, but we will remember who we did it with and how the times we share each day becomes more meaningful and cherished with each day that passes. Enjoy your family...put your efforts there...you will be paid back in spades. And besides, do you really think those other people will be there for you when you need that drool wiped from your face?
