Can you remember when yesterday had little meaning, when only today and tomorrow were important? Most of us can. We all remember how when we left childhood and grew into adolescence and then adulthood we suddenly became aware of yesterday. While we lived through the passing years, yesterday gradually becomes more and more of a reality. We began to realize that all we are today, our education, our work, our families, our lifestyle, even our health were built on the steps of yesterday. Now we are dealing with today. We look ahead to tomorrow. This book contains the elements of the past, present and future for seniors to consider. It contains the memories and stories of many seniors. It also offers suggestions on how we can ge the most out of our golden years and how we can deal with the universal problems that go along with the aging process.
YESTERDAY Can you remember when yesterday had little meaning, when only today and tomorrow were important? I can. All of us remember how when we left childhood and grew into adolescence and then adulthood. We suddenly became aware of yesterday. While we lived through the passing years, yesterday gradually became more and more of a reality. We began to realize that all we are today, our education, our work, our families, our lifestyle, even our health were built on the steps of yesterday. While the years pass, yesterday continues to grow in importance. TODAY Today is influenced by yesterday. We build our lives on yesterdays. We take what the past has taught us and construct our personal today. Much of the time we are unaware of how important our yesterdays were. It would be good for us to remember that our today will soon become our yesterday. What kind of memories are we building for ourselves today? TOMORROW is created on the steps of yesterday and today. Add to those steps our deepest desirers, our hopes, and our dreams. We anticipate tomorrow’s possibilities with as much determination as we can summon. Even though tomorrow is uncertain, it opens the door to new realities. We step into these new times with courage and the experience provided us by the truths of both yesterday and today.
