Default Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

.
.
After golf yesterday, went to Piesanos (our fav pizza place) for lunch. Our Server was 'Dallas', a very nice young man. I noticed that he had tatoos on his arms. As usual, I asked if the tatts had a meaning for him. One arm was geometrical patterns, he likes geometry.

Other arm had, in cursive, "Yesterday Belongs to History, Tomorrow Belongs to God, Today Belongs to Me". Below was a simple graphic of the 7 continents. Above was "dots & dashes", as he told us was Morse code for the saying. I was so impressed - and he turned out to be a wonderful attentive server (and as usual the food was great).

So this morning I decided to make this tangible. Went into Powerpoint and imported a nice picture, entered the saying, printed it, found a frame, and viola'. I plan to send one to each of our 4 'kids' families across the USA (each with 2 grandkids each) - IMO a very powerful inspiring message to follow.

att is a photo I just took of my finished product>

How about "yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a present".

This may not be genteel phraseology but I have heard it expressed that if you have one foot in the past and the other in the future you are p**ing on the present.

I just put "Yesterday Belongs to History, Tomorrow Belongs to God, Today Belongs to Me" on my facebook front page right below my name and photo where we can have a slogan.

John, what if I tell you that I copyrighted that phrase last night, and that every use costs $4.00?

If you said "you're lying", you're right.

(I put it on my ToTV signature line...)

That is another thing in this large great world, tattoos, just don’t get it. My daughter has a few she got during college but she has never shown them to me. I know people say they are art but I always see them as graffiti covering a beautiful person. I would never ever say this to anyone with tattoos as it is there body and their choice. But for me I don’t get it. To each their own.

I use to think that way until my daughter showed me the beauty in them. A lot of tats are very meaningful and bring peace to the one who has them. I got one at the age of 55 and it has so much meaning to me....one and one only (they hurt). That being said yes some go way over board with 20 plus or putting them on their face not a fan of those.....but like you said to each their own.
I am very happy that I got mine means a lot to me.

I have never seen a tattoo as beautiful as the skin it covers. They repel me. When I was dating, I wouldn’t go out with women with tattoos. If people want to remember events, take a photo, write it down, carve it on a plaque or a tombstone.

One should think carefully about where he/she puts their tattoos. I worked for 45 yrs as a hospital RN. 20-30 yrs & sagging skin does nasty things to them.

Give Dallas a framed picture that you created. I am sure he would appreciate and value that gesture and knowing how you shared his message with your family.

I like what my son said when asked if he had a tattoo, “Would you put a bumper sticker on a Masarati?”

You're reading my mind (oh oh) Exactly what I plan to do. He was such a fine young man. Thx for your feedback and confirmation of my plan.
