Date Posted: 19:19:51 11/27/07 Tue .  There's always tomorrow "Tomorrow's always a new day." I said to the lady standing behind me. "I sure hope so." she said. ************************** She walked up to the counter, holding a near empty cup, still dripping with coffee. "I spilt," she said to the gal behind the counter, "A bad one." she added. I looked at her and smiled lightly, "It happens." I said compassionately. "I was just sitting down and the table wobbled, and whoooosh, there it went, all over the place." she said, almost as if to herself. "It happens," I repeated, "It's happened to me many times." An image popped into my mind of all the times I spilt my drink, one being at StarBucks, of course... that was no loss there. "It's a bad day for me." she remarked somewhat solemnly. I could tell then how tired she looked, how exhausted she must've felt, it wasn't just the spilt coffee that had upset her. Seemed to me the spilt coffee only added to her distress. She was a mother of three, maybe four children, perhaps this was one of the reasons she was so stressed. "It's a bad day for me," she said again, "A bad day..." This was when I turned to her and spoke truthfully, "Tomorrow's always a new day." ******************** How true is this to life? When one day passes, another arises, when the sun sets, bringing on the night, the moon glides through the sky, until dawn awakens the arrival of a new day. Why have I not realized this, or even told myself of tomorrow's promises? Either I was too blind or perhaps I shut out the world, too involved with my grief to see the truth of reality. But then it's like suddenly my eyes have been opened by my own words of insight. We may never know what tomorrow will bring, but there is one thing we can always count on, a new day. Yes... tomorrow's always a new day. If things are bad today, full of stress and anxiety, or if things are just plain awful, just remember, remember... No matter how bad things are, tomorrow's always a new day, no matter what may come our way... there's always tomorrow. © JAH 7-12-04 .
