Tomorrow … what will you be doing tomorrow?
Here’s what will be happening in the world: The Queen of England is making a major announcement tomorrow ... why call it an ’emergency’ meeting when it’s only announcing Prince Philip’s retirement?
The Republicans are going to try and put their version of the ACA to a vote tomorrow in Congress … why scare people when even if it passes, it is most unlikely to pass a Senate vote.
The President of the United States is apparently going to sign at least one controversial Executive Order ... why do this at all?
And the local meteorologist has indicated that the sun will come out tomorrow. We all want sun to come out! We all want a “tomorrow” in our lives.
I don’t know about you but … whatever the Queen announces … whatever decision is made in Congress … whatever Executive Order is signed, I am going to sing, whistle, hum or at least ‘think’ the words to Annie’s “Tomorrow” song; and “hang on ’til tomorrow come what may!”
because tomorrow is always “a day away.”
That “day away” gives me hope that there will be another tomorrow
and another and another.
So we hold on … do what we can do to allow the sun into our lives and wedon’t let the clouds roll in to the point that they occupy our hearts or our minds or our souls.
Tomorrow is always
… a day away!

I’m not counting on anything good happening at the Senate level. We voting citizens of the United (though clearly divided) States of America once said of The Donald – “Oh, don’t worry. It’s just a distraction. The GOP will never nominate him as their candidate. And, even if they do, there’s no chance he’ll win.” And now, The Donald is President CrazyPants, proving that, in fact, anyone can grow up to be President of the United States (except, apparently, women).
Yes, the sun will come out tomorrow and the rain falls on the righteous and the unjust and people turn 95 and retire and presidents sign executive orders that are unjust and evil but not enacted by congress or overturned in the courts but I have learned that there are two sentinels at the gates of justice: vigilance and persistence .
I appreciate the sentiment – I honestly do – but here, on the ground in the old USofA, we are in the midst of fighting a monstrous evil.
As for me and my house we shall continue to #resist and #persist even as we appreciate the warm of the rays of sun. So you’ll excuse me while I stay fully invested in today – right here, right now – fully present to the present. Tomorrow may be just a day away but it is promised to no one.
