Sometimes as I reflect at the end of the day my heart is burdened with all that I could have been…should have been, but wasn’t.
I feel the weight of disappointment as I look at my day through the lens of “what should have been”.
It is then that I purpose to be better…
…to be a better mom
…a better wife
…a better friend.
tomorrow
To be more…
…more attentive
…more patient
…more loving
…more understanding.
tomorrow
I end the day looking forward to tomorrow and all that it will bring.
It is my prayer tonight to not be better or more tomorrow, but today.
Today is not over.
The promise of today has not ended.
The time for change is not tomorrow, some far of dream that may or may not come.
The time for change, for renewal, is right now.
Right here.
In this moment.
I’m not waiting on tomorrow to be the wife, mother and friend that God has called me to be.
My change begins today.
And if it has to begin a million times over today, then so be it, but I’m not waiting on tomorrow anymore.

You have no idea how much this speaks to me. On second thought, I bet you do. It’s incredibly timely for me tonight. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
Tanya Dennis says
Little changes can make a huge impact. I’m right there with you. I won’t wait until tomorrow to fix what I can today.
Maggie says
Amen to that Monica! Seize the moment, every moment, as it presents itself!
