My Epiphany

I never really considered myself one to dwell on the past. In fact I always thought I was pretty good at moving forward. This week I have had quite an ordeal trying to get my computer set up for work. Yesterday I even went into a work location in Baltimore to use their network. I accomplished what I needed to and my computer was working the way I needed it to. YESTERDAY. Today I couldn't get to any of the files I could yesterday. I spent most of the afternoon trying everything I could think of and continually saying YESTERDAY this was working. YESTERDAY I could get to the files. YESTERDAY YESTERDAY YESTERDAY. I finally realized it really doesn't matter what my computer was doing Yesterday because TODAY I can't get it to work. I finally shut down my computer in frustration and went to pick Corrie up from school. As I was driving down the road I noticed how the trees are starting to change to fall colors. It has been just a couple of days since I have been outside and I found myself saying, "well just the other day the trees were still green. Just the other day the leaves weren't starting to fall" As I sat in the parking lot waiting for Corrie I started thinking about how just Yesterday I was picking Corrie up from kindergarten. Now I am picking her up from 8th grade because she stayed after to have her band teacher help her with some music she needs to know by Tuesday. On Tuesday she is going to audition for the All Star band for the county. Just Yesterday she was crawling around playing "music" with my pots and pans. Just Yesterday she was singing "I'm a little tea pot". But not today. Today she is a very beautiful young lady with many many talents. Today she is a teenager with a huge heart and a smile to match. TODAY I realized Yesterday is gone and Today will be too if I don't embrace it. Today's dance was a slow song that I embraced with my entire being. May you also do the same.
