Live today and put the what ifs for tomorrow...

While its a busy monday morning for most of them here in London, its just another day for me. A day that starts with a cup of tea which i sip along as i keep packing lunch for my husband, making breakfast for him and giving the plate in his hand while he is busy answering the emails on his machine. While it is another day of meetings,telecalls and deadlines for sending deck out for my husband its another day of cleaning, cooking and grocery shopping for me. All these while i kept cribbing about all of the above work that do everyday right from the time the clock strikes 7 until today when i read this. This post said things which many of us know but fail to realise soon. The late we realise it the late it already would have become. Thats when i told myself that maybe what iam doing right now i will not get to do sometime in the future. In here right now i do everything at my own pace like there is always tomorrow. What if in the future you have to do things knowing the fact that when your last tomorrow is going to be. Right now iam doing all that the person in the post had missed doing. Since my clock is not ticking like you know hurry-up-your-clock is ticking types, iam able to spend a lot of time planning out things i like to do, planning out what i want to make for dinner, what lunch to pack for my husband, where to go on a holiday, what can be done in the weekend etc. Iam able to sit by the river sipping a cup of coffee and watch the world go by, watch the sun setting, watch the child getting excited everytime a boat passes by. I have all the time in the world to cherish the relationship i have with friends,relatives, giving plenty of time to talking to them, meeting them. What if in the future 24 hours seem too less a time for you. What if the weekend just passes by the blink of your eyes that you are begging for long long holiday. What if you dont have the time to even eat breakfast and make that special dinner for your husband that you eat out or just go for heat and eat. What if you make some coffee for yourself and forget all about it and end up sipping a cold coffee and just dunk it into the sink. What ifs and what ifs and hence i decided that today i will stop cribbing and cherish and savour the time i have got to myself, telling myself that when tommorow comes you have a lot of what ifs to answers.
