tickle me tuesday! 3/17/09

new day, new life, new sobriety, new emotions, new complications. this is the same for everyone isn't it? well, maybe not all of it, but consciously or not, every day is a new life, a beginning and an end. like a tombstone, the year of birth and year of death aren't nearly as important as what the dash in the middle represents. each day, what we do with the hours between wake up and sleepy sleepy is the significance of our lives. those hours make up the dash of our lives.

it is so hard, especially for me, to practice that. i'm aware of it, but find myself constantly worrying about "how will this work out" or "what does this mean 5 years from now, 5 months from now, 5 days from now" i should be asking "how is this working now?"

i guess, this is a rambling on of "the now" that i speak of often. if we truly take care of each and every "the now" we don't have to worry about anything in the future because we have done all we can to ensure that it will be everything we put into it. that is all we can ask of ourselves. if we take care of all of our aspects during each and every "the now" we have done all we can do to make tomorrow the best it can be, if we are blessed with a tomorrow.

then it comes to matters of the heart...... be wise, be smart, but be willing.
