Yesterday Today Tomorrow
Posted By Kathleen David on April 9, 2020
Aka Day 25 of the Homebound Saga or Thursday if you prefer
Caroline told me the other day that the week is now three days long. There is yesterday, today and tomorrow and then you are onto the next week. She’s not wrong. If you wanted an idea of how it is to live in the now, I think this is a shining example.
Today has a little more of a feel as a day of the week because Peter and Caroline have Doctor’s appointment which were scheduled before all this. I can go in with Caroline because she is a minor, but Peter is on his own.
Yesterday I cleaned up from the last puppet blast and got together my materials for mask making and Caroline’s Easter gift. Today I start to make things. Tomorrow is a bit of a toss up.
I have no idea if we are getting our walk in today. We did yesterday between two rain showers but today looks a little dicey. Maybe we will put on our kickboxing gloves and do some drills.
Now I have Oogway from Kung Fu Panda stuck in my head, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” I think that is going to be my philosophy for right now.
Living in the now is what is keeping me from running screaming into the dark. If I focus on that, I don’t worry about the next day since it will be mostly a rerun of this day.
I did have to take a time out yesterday as I had my first migraine in about a year. I can feel the stress manifesting in my body. I have been stretching to counteract. And we are all stressed right now one way or another. It is a stressful time. Don’t not dismiss it.
Hope you are safe and sound. Wash your hands. You know how I worry. And a virtual hug if you need it.
I am grateful for ways of looking at time.
