I find myself
At the crossroads Of life
I no longer wish
To plan for my future
At this stage in life
I want to live,
One day at a time.
The tomorrow
Others talk about
For me are no longer there
I am unable
To foresee that far.
Those that dream
Awaiting the future
Will awaken, still waiting
For their tomorrow.
There is no tomorrow
Once the sun rises
Above the eastern horizon
It will be, just "Today."

Yes, so very true, William. Very well thought out and well penned.
Love,
CJ

Hmmm...I sense 'enjoy every moment' from this William. Planning can be a dangerous and disappointing game and we can miss so much of life during that process. Ambling for today....great philosophy...enjoy. Love and peace to you Panda :)
well I agree with the living one day at a time, but it is in my nature to always plan, or maybe dream is the right word, of what my future could be...loved this, William
peace and love, Carole
"I Plan No More"
Dreams are made for the living...
Everyday one awakens w/renewed visions, dreams, and aspirations regardless what they are William.
You have beautiful visions wouldn't you think they come in your dreams for tomorrow? (((you share them here through your narratives)))

Just made a resolution...well sort of a resolution or a promise to myself that I would take life one day at a time and try not to worry about tomorrow, for their are many things that we try to work out that really we cannot, I've decided to let the Lord take care of the things that I cannot.
Blessings and Happy New Year!

You sound tired from your long holiday trip, friend. I think you need a fine, friendly pet to care for you - either cat or dog!
But never forget, William, that Today is the Tomorrow of Yesterday!
I already have my post-it-notes of plans for tomorrow (get 140 lbs. of birdseed and 40 lbs. of dry catfood from Sam's), and for Wednesday get more cat food from PetSmart; then stop at Half-Price Books for any Michael Connelly and Jeffery Deaver books I've not yet read (I received a very hefty gift-card for Christmas :o)!
Planning ahead is half the fun of the accomplishments...LOL

(btw, I don't eat the catfood, it's for my 7 indoor ones, and 12 outdoor semi-ferals :o)

One day at a time.
Maybe that's how we should all live, William, making every day count.
