I love it when I learn something from my (adult) children! Recently, our son Matt, age 43, took a week to move from one apartment to another within the Denver area. The Monday of the next week, he was scheduled to start a new job so I wrote to him the night before asking how the move went and was he ready for work the next day.

If it had been me, I would have been scrambling around trying to make sure most things were put away and that my office was set up nearly perfectly. In response to such a question, I would have said whether I had accomplished all my goals…or not. Instead, Matt wrote:

What’s done is done, what’s not done is not done, and the sun rises and sets another day.

Matt wisely chooses not to put himself under pressure and is an excellent practitioner of “do the next thing.”

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6.34, NIV)
