Tomorrow

February 5

Good morning, friend.

In one sense, tomorrow is a day just like any other.

Twenty-four hours. Sunrise, sunset. 9-5 (if not the commute, at least the literal hours of the clock). Some form of weather, some form of evening news, birds flying and clocks ticking over to tomorrow’s tomorrow.

In that regard, all tomorrows are precisely the same.

Conversely, not all yesterdays are the same. We mostly remember yesterdays precisely for their lack of same-ness. There’s too many to keep count of in that bucket, We only remember the big ones: the weddings, the birthdays, the traumatic experiences. The collective yesterdays of 9/11, stock market crashes, and wars.

In other words, in a long string of yesterdays, a few stand out.

In the string of tomorrows, they all look the same.

So it seems like there might be some wisdom in operating under the assumption that tomorrow might not work exactly the way today did.

Sunsets and sunrises, yes.

But the skills and choices that got you here? Might be worth giving them a little breathing room for the future.
