Today was one of those days. Crazy and on-the-go from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM.

But is that really any excuse?

Today was a day where I screwed up. I took a wrong turn at work and ended with a totaled car at home.

Today was one of those days where I wished I was Bill Murray on assignment in Pennsylvania to see if Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow or not.

But I'm not Bill Murray, and as cool as it would be to have a career in weather forecasting, I don't do that either.

Today was October 22nd, not February 2nd.

I felt like I spent today day trying to weigh out the pros and cons of my decisions in order to determine the best course of action. But I really didn't. I didn't stand long enough at the scale. I didn't move the slider back and forth on the beam to find where a balance. I may have toyed with it for a bit, thought I was in the right area, but unfortunately I moved on before I could see if horizontal bar leveled out.

Today, I upset people and caused them strife with my poor choices. Today I felt regret as the scale tipped in the wrong direction.

Today, I crumbled while rocking my baby before bed in realization that I can't change anything. I did what I did and then I apologized; that's all I could do today.

But thankfully there is tomorrow. Tomorrow I will hope for forgiveness and learn from my mistakes. While I will continue to make choices that will affect others, I can change. Tomorrow, I will take time to be humble and thoughtful. Thankfully, I live a life where I always have a say in how my tomorrow goes.

And I say today that tomorrow will be a good day.
