Live for today

[Fluttering]

Those who live for yesteryear’s Grace

will rarely find a decent pace –

Those who live in tomorrow’s forlorn

miss most of what Others call norm –

Those that find their way

through the fuddle and befuddle of each day,

and find a way, to remain grateful & gay,

discover tomorrows are contained in Today,

while building Memories that support their stay.

Thank you Fluttering.

That reminded me of the only tatoo I ever got. I got it a few weeks prior to getting sober. I am such a wimp I did not even get my ears pierced until I was 35 and that same year got the tatoo. I was suicidal, depressed, and desperate when I got it. The words of the tatoo are something I have carried with me since early childhood but up until I got sober I always saw them as an end rather than a beginning. I don't know if that makes sense or not. Here are the words maybe that will explain it better:
Live for today
Yesterday's gone
and tomorrow may never come

Before getting sober my mind concentrated on the tomorrow may never come part but today I see it as I have to live for today as I can not change the past nor can I change the future.

Thanks for the reminder as I rarely even think about it anymore as it is on my back on my right shoulder so I never see it. It isn't even a pretty one. Most people get something pretty, I got just got reading material.....:rof
