I love fairy tales. Flowers, pygmies, fairies...
I love the stories about prince and princess and those candy worlds.
But September reminds me of the fairy tale about the mermaid.
When I first read it, I was just a little girl.
I was shocked by the cruel story.
The witch frightened me.
The stupid prince annoyed me.
This fairy tale is quite different from the others.
No sugarplum, no happy ending.
I didn't like it.

Today is the tomorrow I worried about yesterday
And today was such a lovely day,
that I wondered why I worried about today yesterday
So today I am not going to worry about tomorrow
There may not be a tomorrow anyway
So today I am going to live as if there is no tomorrow
And I am going to forget about yesterday.
Today is the tomorrow I planned for yesterday
And nearly all my plans for today did not plan out the
way I thought they would yesterday
So today I am forgetting about tomorrow and I will
plan for today
But not too strenuously
Today I will stop to smell a rose
I will tell a loved one how much I love her
I will stop planning for tomorrow and plan to make
today the best day of my life.
Today is the tomorrow I was afraid of yesterday
And today was nothing to be afraid of
So today I will banish fear of the unknown
I will embrace the unknown as a learning experience
full of exciting opportunities
Today, unlike yesterday I will not fear tomorrow.
Today is the tomorrow I dreamed about yesterday
And some of the dreams I dreamt about yesterday came
true today
So today I am going to continue dreaming about
tomorrow
And perhaps more of the dreams I dream today will come
true tomorrow.
Today is the tomorrow I set goals for yesterday
And I reached some of those goals today
So today I am going to set slightly higher goals for
today and tomorrow
And if tomorrow turns out to be like today
I will certainly reach all of my goals one day!
