An older women once said to me " the only thing in my life I regret is the time I have spent worrying". Who doesn't look ahead in worry and regret? I look ahead and think "how will I survive the next holiday, or birthday when all I can think about is how Stacie should be here to celebrate. I try to remind myself that life is full of roads not taken, and while I mourn my beloved Stacie - that, too, was never assured. I would love to get off the worry train and savor the meaning of THIS day!

Remember to remind yourself, I will look upon this day as a gift, not to be squandered.
