- 05/02/11 07:55 AM
My dad always reminds me to live for today and count my blessings. He says that tomorrow is not guaranteed so we should only live in the here and now and not let the stress of tomorrow affect us. Easier said than done, for sure! But my dad lives this out every single day and I do my very best to follow in his foot steps.
