Yesterday was history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that’s why they call it the “present.”*

The Dose is all about being present – living in the present, enjoying the present, and respecting the present… all so that today is not missed, as tomorrow is never a guarantee. Have fun!

As for the yesterdays – I look to the past to reminisce about the notable good times. Also to learn from the past. Those two things bring me “back”’ for a moment in time. 

Regarding the future – specifically the long-term future – that truly is a mystery. But with a hope and a prayer, a potential dream will come true. Have dreams!

Short-term future is something different as it’s not quite today, and certainly not considered our one-year-out-and-beyond timeline. This “future” is the upcoming dinner parties, events, and vacations that we plan for, primp for, and shop for. Having a glance of what is to come may help us get through the not-so-best of days. Have plans!

As you do with each present received, open the gift of today with care and gratitude, while remembering where you’ve been and believing for where you would like to go.
