we only have today
and that will never change
to fret portending clouds of gray
to scurry ’round and rearrange
for what might happen up ahead
instead of living here instead
is losing now
so might you see
the present is
the place to be
so set your worry on a shelf
and cease that stealing from yourself
by squinting yon when you’re in now
is ceding time – so why allow?
revel in this moment here
invite yourself to stay
for in the end
it’s crystal clear
we only have today
Just Sifting 
“So set your worry on a shelf”
Wise, wise, wise advice!
Such a great read!
