Today

Packing up my weekend & looking forward to the next. These days I’ve started a count down for everything: my next trip home, the number of classes I have left and the day my next paycheck comes. ⁣ ⁣ But unpacking my @boden_clothing#gifted today had me thinking. ⁣ ⁣ What will I do with my time until ________ happens/comes or ______ ends/begins? ⁣ ⁣ It’s so vital that we give purpose to the moments we want to pass quickly. ⁣ The countdown to summer,⁣ To a new chapter,⁣ A new place,⁣ A new title,⁣ A vacation,⁣ The end of a long fought battle,⁣ A cure,⁣ An answer,⁣ etc.⁣ ⁣ We’re all expecting something — waiting for something. Often times we can find ourselves wishing away our current situations - our current struggles or just the mundane moments of everyday life wishing for something greater. And all of that can be justified entirely.⁣ ⁣ But — in both the good and the bad, we must push forward having hope for the future, all the while staying present in the here and now. ⁣ ⁣ These joys were meant for today.⁣ These struggles were meant for today.⁣ These moments - both casual and colossal - were meant for today.⁣ ⁣ One day you’ll be there. ⁣ You’ll may the things you once wished for.⁣ The things you’ve waited for.⁣ The answer you’ve hoped for.⁣ But know that today is also a day you’ve prayed for.⁣ You’ve hoped for. You’ve worked for.⁣ ⁣ What you have, know, do, love today is because of your yesterday and all the days prior.⁣ ⁣ We hold on for the next weekend, our big break or the dreams we’ve always dreamed, but we give purpose to now.⁣ We give reason to now.⁣ And we give thanks for now.⁣ Because we aren’t promised tomorrow. ⁣ Today is all we’ve got.
