“Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.”

I don’t just try to be funny.

OF COURSE I’d like to be the ideal mother. But I’m too busy raising children.

Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.

Live a life that makes you feel proud when you discuss your past with your children in the future.
