Today vs Yesterday vs Tomorrow

The teaching of "One day at a time or just for the day" is one of the coping skills taught in many types of therapy. Yet I asked the question is it possible to live today without yesterday and does that some how effect tomorrow?

The past is often a deadly demon that hunts most of us like an evil spirit. Regardless of how many times we have forgiven do we or will we ever forget? If we were abused in any form (emotionally or physically) how do we ignore reminders that we bump into today? How do clear our hearts from worry that our demons will not follow or harm our own children?

Is it possible to release completely from the past? If we know we have forgiven everyone from the past do we still some how blame ourselves? Or are do we envy ourselves as mothers and wish we had experienced better in the past? Is that what it is in our children ....we give and love them so much more that we felt we were love we secretly wish we were our own mother? I hope that makes sense.

I know the past haunts me silently and in my sleep. I have got to find a way to make it go away so Today and Tomorrow can win this race. Today I declare war against the past.
