I'll gladly admit that I am not that hip. The fact that I used the word, "hip," describes how out of touch with today I am. I still use words like, "Awesome" and "Sweet" and, yes, "Sucks". I have been told many times that a lot of what I do and even more of what I say is "So yesterday".
There's something to be said for yesterday. There are things that I cling to, things I hold on to, things that I don't want to let go. Some of my favorite clothes are from several years ago, even a couple of decades ago. I have great memories of folks from years and years ago. There are things about yesterday that I try to hold on to. But...
Today's word is a simple quote that I came across that expresses the flip side of "so yesterday". It says, "Spending today complaining about yesterday won't make tomorrow any better."
Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in the hurts and wrongs of yesterday that we lose sight of today. Yes, maybe yesterday bit the big one. Yes, maybe yesterday was one of the worst. But, spending time today complaining about something that has come and gone won't add one thing to tomorrow's goodness.
Hold on to yesterday's memories and smiles. Let go of yesterday's hurts and worries. Spending too much time today worrying about yesterday will not improve tomorrow one bit; it's so yesterday.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
