Many people living in one day at a time recovery live in the present day. Living in the present day does not mean we cannot plant the garden of tomorrow. The reason we plant the garden of tomorrow this present day is because its harvest is a necessity for tomorrow. We know we must eat. It is the brave souls among us who buy the seed and ready the soil. When the soil is readied at the right time of the spring, the seed is planted. The brave souls among us know how to weed and water the garden. They know what pesticides to spray the garden with, and they know how to harvest the crop. These brave souls also know how to preserve and store the bounty. They also now how to bring the crop to market. One day at a time the garden of tomorrow is the garden of today. The brave souls who did all this had hope for tomorrow. Always they lived in today. We can too. Give thanks. It’s important. Someone or something made the earth, the seed, the water, and the planter. Peace.
