Do you have a favorite quote that you return to again and again? What is it, and why does it move you?
I used to have a favorite saying
I would think on this as I was laying
On my bed so late at night
Waiting for sleep and morning light
I read it somewhere long ago
It was in a book tis all I know
Don’t put off til tomorrow what you can do today
These are the words I would always say
Keep the mind sharp and body on the move
Don’t get slow, don’t lose your groove
I have let it slide a bit for now
As I concentrate on learning how
To realize that I have done real good
On taking care of Al and his moods
Slowly I am learning another way
To occupy my time and day
Learning who I am all about
Wanting to sing and give a shout
Hi neighbor, hi friend and hello class
Wearing a smile, as I shrink my __ss
I have made the start I am here to say
Digging up the old me I am on my way
Today is the day I am going to say
Don’t put off til tomorrow what you can do today.

Terry, well said .. but after I retired – I just do that … I do what I want to do .. and everything else can wait for another day. There will always be a tomorrow and if not – it will not make a difference anyhow. You’re right – we should always tell our loved ones that we love them .. and we should always help somebody when the chance pops up. All musts … can wait for another day.

This was my slogan too, Terry, but when I got into the menopauze, it stressed me out, so I had to learn a new one: if you can’t do it today, well, there’s always tomorrow, but, believe me, in the beginning this stressed me out too 😉

Well said! I say it daily and because I want to see His power and glory each day, one of my favorite quotes is: “This is the day which the LORD hath made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. ” Psalm 118:24
