Time keeps on slippin, slippin, into the future...

We are building our future today... I don't think we realise that it is going on right under our noses. Every thought, every word, every deed and consideration takes something of today and places it in the future.
Its something that I don't think we fully understand, but we are shaping what the future will look like. We may think that each day is a 'stand alone' day but really it is a building block.
So when we say to ourselves it doesn't matter... One more day can't hurt, it may not seem to right now but every day counts. It counts for what we desire in coming days, our plans, our dreams and hopes and whether they will come to pass... One day, one day, one day... and the thing is we don't any of us know how many days we have left.
I don't to leave words unspoken or have promises unkept... I know there are things I also keep putting off but I pray that it won't be the most important things. The things that will cause me to leave a good mark on my family, the people I love, my friends, the community in which I reside, which may not be where I live in the suburbs. It might be the place I live in front of all of you that I communicate with each day.
We are each a future builder, in so many ways we would be shocked if we were only aware the things that actually counted that we do each day, and the things that we may leave undone also count for something.
I pray I will fulfill the call on my life, I pray I will be the best person I can be, the best wife, the best mother, the best friend, the best human I can be.
Time indeed keeps on slippin into the  future. I hope I do it honor and that I can keep up with it, and when my days are done may the least amount of things be left undone!
I hope you like these quotes on the future as they will definitely make you think...

The future is called "perhaps," which is the only possible thing to call the future.  And the only important thing is not to allow that to scare you.                                                                         ~Tennessee Williams, Orpheus Descending, 1957
We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.                                                                                                   ~Charles F. Kettering
The past can't see you, but the future is listening.                                                   ~Terri Guillemets
And in today already walks tomorrow.                                                                  ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Tomorrow is fresh, with no mistakes in it.                                                                ~L.M. Montgomery
How sure I feel, how warm and strong and happy For the future!  How sure the future is within me; I am like a seed with a perfect flower enclosed....                                    ~D.H. Lawrence, "Wedlock"
I know not what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.                     ~Author Unknown
It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.                                       ~Voltaire
