The Present...A Gift.

I just got back from a HS choir concert. I got to sing one song as a Chorus Alumni. I thought I would cry because I missed it, all the concerts and excitement. But I didn't. It was a real eye opener for me. I got to see that there really is more to life than just the "most valuable singer" or the "best performer". There is no "best voice" award in the real world...but, there are simple accomplishments and satisfaction.
As I got to spend some time with old friends, I learned what the hottest trends were, and the latest updates on couples...but does that really matter for what is in store for ME? No.

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, and today is a gift (that is why we call it the present)" -Laura Roberts, Choir Director.

Why think about yesterday, with no hope of ever changing it, when there is a gift right in front of me?
