Salute the Past

 All of us, ordinary everyday people, simply did our best with who we were, what we had, and what we knew at the time.

So take your hat off and salute the past.

It was time given to you freely — a most precious gift.

Respect it, have grace for it, and learn from it.

And now here we are, living in what we once called “Tomorrow” — the near future.

Time slips past us so effortlessly…

Another very precious, very brief 24 hours soon to be added to the past.

So let's build these hours into something good — even better if you can — using what was true and right, and the wisdom the past has already given you.

Roll up your sleeves.

Ready your dancing shoes, your walking and running shoes, your working shoes. And remember to kick them off once in a while and walk barefoot too, treading lightly among the roses along the way ...

Face the future with faith, courage, and hope.

It is ours — even if unpredictable.

Because life always is.

And still, we go forward ... blessed with Time in the very moment we live.
