What does today mean?

Asked by shockvalue (5800points) February 24th, 2009

what does it mean to you?

What is today, and when, exactly, does it become yesterday, or tomorrow…?

Most importantly, how do I live in it?

It is today until I go to sleep. Tomorrow starts when I wake up.
I don’t have any deeper thoughts on that.

As cliche as it sounds (and it is), “Today is the first day of the rest of my life.” It means that I try to make the very best out of everything I have and everything I’ve been given and enjoy myself to the fullest extent possible.

You live in it however you choose to and hopefully you’ll never take it for granted because each day is precious.

Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision,
But every today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Today is everything I am capable of doing right now.

It’s always today. It’s always now. Tomorrow never comes.
That last sentence sounds like a Bond film.

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine,
A million tomorrows could all pass away,
There I forget all the joy that is mine, today…

I’ll tell you tomorrow.

Today is a TV show
Yesterday is a great song
Tomorrow Never Comes is a Bond Film (at least that’s what AstroChuck tells me)

“today” starts whenever I wake up in the morning (be it 6am or 3pm). It ends whenever I go to bed (which is usually way after midnight and technically “tomorrow”).

I’m the same as Jack and elijah. Some interesting ways of looking at it to :)

Today is the beginning of our Lenten journey. We are waiting for Jesus to come. It is a sad time, but can also be good because it is a preparation for Easter.
I don’t really like ashes on my forehead, but it is for Christ, so I am okay.

Wow, didn’t see that one coming…

… uh, seconded.

Same here, but I can see where it does come from.
