Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Weve heard that so many times that it is now mundane. But it is one thing nobody can debate. This means there is something brand new about today. Even if you are a hundred years old, today is still the beginning of all that is left. You are alive at this moment and everything in the past is over and done. So, what each one of us must do is forget the past and get on with life. Fear of the future is unwarranted. Losing a loved one can be so devastating that a person can sometimes give up. The truth is, neither of you would have wanted the other to quit living. That would be to reject all that was good about your life together. Life does not end just because someone dies ... either for him or those left behind. Accept today, this next twenty-four hours as a fresh gift from God. Dont waste it! Certainly, do not abuse it. And dont lose today worrying about tomorrow. The coming days can be shaped for good only if you lay the foundation for them now. Whether, nineteen or ninety-one, we are all growing older. But growing older has nothing to do with the joy of living. Some of the worlds most exciting people are advanced in age while other young in years have a decaying spirit. Remember that our loved one whom we can no longer see is still walking beside us. Clasp your hands and keep walking as you always did. Together you have walked toward the sunset. Now you can walk toward the sunrise. From: Day by Day Meditations for the Broken Hearts
