I have spent a lot of time today thinking about those three famous time periods...past, present, future. My eldest niece is getting ready to graduate from high school. I think back to my own graduation and how great, scary, exciting, awful, etc. that it was and how many choices I made or didn't make that effected the rest of my life. If you have been following this blog you will know that it only took me twenty plus years after high school to get my bachelor's degree. That would be a clue to some of the decisions I made, or chose not to make. I have been thinking to about all her possible futures and the many choices, opportunities, mistakes, joys, sorrows, ... the life that is a head of her. For me today the future seems full of hope even if it is a bit scary. Hope that anything I dream is possible, that a little hard work will lead to great things. So to all of you about to graduate, or just thinking about what comes next I remind you, along with myself, don't forget about today. The present. Today holds many opportunities for all of us but more importantly, today holds the choices that will make tomorrow what it will be. Be mindful and see the many blessings you already have.
Reminisce a little, dream a little, but be here a lot.
