"Tomorrow...comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
~ John Wayne
Today's quote is not one of those clear-cut quips from The Duke.
It's a poetic expression that can easily be
misunderstood.
Please read it again. Take time to appreciate its beauty.
It's not about tomorrows and yesterdays. It's about
our todays.
This day. How will we live it? What might we learn so that when the gift of tomorrow arrives - clean, perfect, and hopeful - we will bring some expanded wisdom in to it?
I'm
remembering how every morning near the end of her life my mom would pray, "God, what would you have me learn today?"
Today, I'm asking this too.
There are many ways to prepare ourselves to receive life's lessons gently and to hear guiding wisdom each
day.
What person, place, event, book, film, song, or saying offers a guiding touchstone that is right for you right now?
Today: May we live it opened to learnings.
With joyful expectancy,
Charlene
