Future

"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time."
By
Abraham Lincoln
This quote means to me: Take one day at a time because you don't know if you'll have a tomorrow. You will always have something to look foreword to. Make each day count, as if it was your last day to live. Also, you can't change something that hasn't happened yet. Better things could be just around the corner.
Over the years, watching my mother battle with Osteoporosis, she keeps saying, "I'm taking one day at a time". I've become to be a believer in this because this is all you can do in life, is take one day at a time and make the best of each day. How you live it, makes a big difference, as well.
Mr. Lincoln was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809, and grew up in Indiana. Married Mary Todd and had four sons, but only one grew up to maturity. Abraham Lincoln led us into a war that changed our lives forever. He died April 15, 1865. He was a very proud and caring president.

How true this is.. It is the only way that a person can survive. If you take one day at a time it does not sem so overwhelming. Great job!

Very Good Job This is a very real quote, even if it was stated long ago. It still fits for today, even more then before. Ff someone tries to take more then one day at time, they won't make it
