Some Doy An Editorial
The most glamorous time in the life of the average human is that rose-tinted future we call "some day." Some day all our dream boats will come sailing home amid trailing clouds of glory, and land safely at the dock of heart's desire.
Today is here, entirely too present and close upon us to allow us to go through with our dreams. Tomorrow is much too imminent. So, in our hearts and minds we look eagerly forward to doing all the things we would like to do, seeing all the things we would like to see, making all the dreams we have dreamed come true on that vague, distant, indefinite, but altogether fascinating era we just refer to as "some day."
"Some day" we will journey to a golden island in the sea and, sitting there in the sun, watch the sun-browned swimmers gliding through the blue waters. "Some day" we will visit all those dear friends we see so little and whose fine companionship we miss so much. "Some day" we will settle down in our easy ch.air and devour at leisure those priceless books we have not had time to more than scan. "Some day" we will do all those things we would love to do today, yet have not had the time, the opportunity, or the determination to do now.
And yet, while holding close to our hearts the hopes for, and dreams of, that gorgeous "some day" of the future, let us not overlook the possibilities of that much more practical and far more important time we call "today." For today, in spite of all our hopes, desires, and colorful ambitions of the future, is the only day we will ever really know. So, while we wait for that thrilling "some day" to come along, how about collecting from today its abundant blessings and opportunities. Whatever it is you desire most-seek it today. Tomorrow, of course. may never arrive. And "some day" may be too late.
