TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME

We are always worried about what tomorrow will bring...what we need to do is worry about today and whatever happens tomorrow happens.

Why worry about something that you have no control over...

Life is somewhat a mystery to all of us. We can never know what will happen but we do tend to worry about it. We should live for the moment as every minute is precious to us, although we do not realize it.

A friend of mine was just diagnosed with breast cancer and she has such a beautiful outlook on life and is so full of courage and the faith that she will overcome this. With her weekly treatments of therapy she still has a glow about her and her smile is worth a million dollars. She does not dwell on her problem but instead she radiates the love she has for just being here. I met her for lunch the other day. She was now wearing a very fashionable wig and I was amazed how she looked. Her makeup was done just so and she was dressed very casual, but if you saw her you would swear that she looked like she was going to a gala as she was just glowing. My friend looks at her cancer as something she could not avoid, but she can help herself by just thinking about today and not worrying what will happen tomorrow or the next day.

We all get wound up in our problems and we do not seem to feel we can think about the future. I only thank God, that I have a wonderful husband, children, grandchildren and family and of course my health. They are my today...what comes tomorrow we have no control over, but why worry about it. It will not help.

So as my friend has said "I can not let this get me down", so live for today. I know she has given me a new outlook.
