What will tomorrow bring?

what will tomorrow bring? that is what we can never know, not for certain. the one thing we can be sure of is that each new day brings new opportunities to work on ourselves...

right now, i anticipate that my personal tomorrow will bring the following:

rain and cooler temps, based on the google weather forecast
breakfast with my dear one
a hot bath
a yoga class to teach midday
a pint or two at the pub
a snuggly evening

any and all of this could be derailed by a number of things. the weather forecast could be---shocking, i know---wrong. one of us could wake up with flu and not want breakfast. the power might go out and deny me a hot bath. my car might not start, keeping me from getting to the gym to teach yoga. or i could injure myself somehow, and be unable to teach. perish the thought, but it is possible that the pub could be out of guinness...it's happened once before. (i'm still recovering.) and the cherry on top, the snuggly evening, could be altered if someone isn't feeling well, or if my daughter needs to be picked up from her dad's house instead of staying all night, or if a friend called in need of help.

on the other hand, any and all of these things could be kicked up a notch. the weather forecast could be wrong entirely, and be replaced by a warm spell with lovely sunshine to lie in. we might decide to go out for breakfast, or to stay in bed instead of having breakfast...i might get to have an extra long bath, since i don't have to do the morning school run tomorrow. my yoga class might be unusually enjoyable to teach, or maybe i will run into someone i'd like to see on the way to or from class. the bartender at the pub might charge me the "single mum rate", as they do frequently, or i might get one of the bartenders who actually knows how to pour a proper pint of stout. and the evening---well, i don't see how that could be improved upon, but hey, maybe i'd find a little box under my pillow with a ring in it or something.

this is as far as i'm prepared to take speculation...i have learned that we never really know what will happen in life, no matter how much we try to control things. i just try to take it all in on a daily basis and enjoy the good parts without questioning whether they will be there tomorrow. i try to deal with the bad stuff by reminding myself that those too shall pass...people's lives change all the time, sometimes in little ways, sometimes dramatically, sometimes tragically, sometimes magically; we can be sure of nothing but the fact of this present moment. which doesn't stop me from anticipating some of that good stuff that might turn up tomorrow...
