Today

Today

will be yesterday

tomorrow.

I saw a poster with these words:
"Aujourd'hui
sera hier demain..."

This simple phrase made me think about things a little differently.

Today is the only tangible reality we have
and remember
tomorrow never comes
for when it's here
it's today!

What about yesterday?
Well, that too had its turn to be in the limelight
when it was called: today!

So
if today is the only day there is
let's live it fully
with  gratitude
for the little joys we can find
in each day

like noticing the dance of the bare branches
in a puddle we happen to encounter.

  11. Love the message in this one, Sandra, so true.
    My husband said he has passed the city where you live and it's beautiful, similar to the beautiful villages in the South of France. You are so lucky to live in Switzerland!! That was my husbands dream- to move and live there! I will be back to visit your blog and look forward to seeing more fabulous photos of Switzerland.

  14. Dear Sandra, thank you for reminding me in such a beautiful way to be in the now! My dear departed Mum regularly quoted this "Tomorrow never comes ….."
    As always your photography takes my breath away and having browsed through your past few posts that I have so badly missed seeing, I really do feel uplifted! Thank you so much!
    I hope your weekend is happening beautifully for you!
