YESTERDAY IS HISTORY

(This means forgiveness and letting go and learning and growing)


TOMMORROW IS A MYSTERY

(This means no worries)


TODAY IS A GIFT,

and that is why it's called "THE PRESENT"

(Carpi-deium = "seize the day")


  "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery and Today is a Gift, That is why it is called, The Present."   is the opening prayer or mantra to a celebration of the good things in life that one can do alone, with a friend, a lover, family or complete strangers.   Using our Gratitudes as a physical object to focus on helps one find the serenity to find the good things in life even when it seems that everything may be going wrong.   There are always good things in your life.   Simply being alive is a gift one can be grateful for.   We can be grateful for family, friends, the last meal we ate . . .
