“Do you remember that day?” she asked me. She was remembering it like it was yesterday.

In fact, it was yesterday.

I watched her eyes reveal the delight in revisiting her memories. It’s incredibly easy, at my age, to allow the days to blend together into an ongoing cycle of activity. But at two years old, yesterday is fully committed to the past. And today is exactly what it promises to be….a new beginning.

Be part of a child’s new beginning today, not a carryover from the remnants of yesterday. Take heart from their energy and their optimism. Look at them with open eyes. Be ready to make a fresh start.
