Being free and living for myself in freedom would also mean taking an inventory of the past and putting it away. As Uncle Jack tells Scout in 'Go Set A Watchman': 'It's always easy to see what we were, yesterday, ten years ago. It is hard to see what we are.'
Stop seeing today in the light and shade of yesterday...all the yesterdays...
I have to stop beating myself up, or patting myself on the back for all that is past...and ask:
Who am I today?
What am I today?
Because when I see what I am today, I will have to do something about it...Face it, change it, remodel it.....for tomorrow I must ask these questions again....
