There are two days in every week about which we should not worry

Two days which should be kept free from fear and
apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and
cares,its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will
rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful
eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person
mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened
Yesterday
and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.
