We hope that our tomorrows will be bright and giving and fulfilling.
Sometimes, those tomorrows, the tomorrows we hope for, can seem years away. And, that can make it hard to look forward to the true tomorrow, the day after today.
In caregiving, the chance that tomorrow will bring heartache, or finality, or yet another challenge is part of every day.
And, in that knowledge, lies the blessing. You live for today. You do your best to resolve conflicts now so they don’t weigh down your spirit. You speak your truths because, well, why wait? You embrace your potential and act on the opportunities. You learn what you can—about your caree, the disease process, yourself. You live in peace.
Tomorrow may hold pain. How you live today means you can hold the pain of any day right next to its promise.
