The end of an era

Tomorrow we leave to collect our eldest from university.  Unbelievably, this is the end of her third year and we are bringing her home.  It is possibly the biggest change she has ever faced, because when she left for Uni she knew what faced her for the next three years, and whilst it was all new and scary, at least that brought some element of certainty.  Now she faces coming home to an uncertain future, and that is much harder.

The reality is that none of us know what tomorrow brings but we tend to operate on the assumption that it will be more of what today delivered, and that gives us a map of sorts.  When you are embarking on Life’s big adventure the future just stretches out before you with few known landmarks.  The infinite possibilities feel more daunting than exciting.

Only acting today delivers us our tomorrows.  I’d love to hear what you are doing to make tomorrow the day you want it to be…
