George was to be performing near us soon. George is Bean's totally favorite guy. I planned on taking her to see him. The news today has her very upset. She loves her Georgie, as do I.

Every new "Today" seems more anxious than ever. Do you find more solace in "Yesterday" or "Tomorrow"? Why?
Submitted by Bee Whisperer.

None of the above. I find solace in the "Now". Now is the only thing truly real.

And Rocky said unto me: "It's not how hard you can hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

Thank you, Rocky.
