Today is over so it is time to hit the hay and go right to sleep. Just doesn’t work that way in my book. Most of us put the thinking cap on before we turn the page to the next day. We think about what we did or should have done today or what we did or should have done yesterday. We might even turn the pages back to weeks, months or years. We think and dream about the good old days until the Sandman comes and ends our day.

In his famous poem if Rudyard Kipling said, “If you can dream and not make dreams your master,” you learned something a little smarter from yesterday and the day before. Yes, my friends, the past is very important in our lives, but only a foolish person learns little or nothing from them. My Mother used to say, “There’s no fool like an old fool.”

At the other end of the road, live the future people. They are thinking about days, weeks, months or years ahead. They are playing the waiting game. You meet these tomorrow people every day. They say, “I’ll do that tomorrow or I’ll see you tomorrow. It is such an innocent word but God never promised them or anyone else tomorrow.

I get my morning newspaper every day and go right to the obituary page. I see people much younger that me that have gone upstairs.

I have learned a lesson and I would like to pass it to all of my Friends out there, “Don’t bank on tomorrow but if you can make it give God a thumbs up and live for Today because Tomorrow may never come.”
