thoughts:      the screen saver on my laptop varies, sometimes it's a kaleidoscope of colors. Makes me think of a toy Kaleidoscope I had as a kid... I loved to look through it, turn it and every time were different shapes and colors. I also had a metal top with a handle that you pushed so it'd turn faster and faster... I'd stare at it and the bright red, blue, yellow, and clown shapes would make many different shapes and color combinations. Always something new:  I was mesmerized every time.  I'd carry it to either grandpa and ask them to push the handle (they were strong and could make it go a lot faster than I could)... we'd laugh and giggle till the top would slow down, stop and fall over. Such fun we had.     In thinking of this, it reminds me how much life is like that. The harder you push, the faster you go... go ... go .... go ... until sometimes you just drop and fall over.  Most humans are not satisfied with just enjoying "the simple things". W

today is just as important as yesterday or tomorrow. today is just that: today. enjoy, create, make the most of, reflect on... you can do all these things and more with today. you can be sad, glad, or in between with today. you can be thankful, wishful, prayerful, dreamy about today. this is your today. do with today what you wish, or what you need to do. God gives us today, tomorrow, eternity.  today is neither here nor there, now or then, it just IS.  how are you going to use today?
