Hi. You don’t know me. I don’t know you. We’re strangers. But we’re the same, sort of. Only chances are, you drive a nicer car than I do. In fact I guarantee you drive a nicer car. I drive a 25-year-old truck. The tailgate is rusted, there is a prodigious layer of dog hair on the upholstery. The windshield is cracked, the gas gauge doesn’t work, the roof leaks so that when it rains the interior of my Ford bears the perpetual scent of canine.
Hope leads us to a new day. Depression, devastation, even death may seem like they have the last word. But there is always another word: hope. There’s another word: promise. There’s another word: love. Those words guide us toward tomorrow.
You wrote those words just for me. Thank you Sean. I am in the middle of a tussle with cancer, and today was a really bad day. But your words made me resolve to keep fighting, and to look for better things tomorrow. I will be okay, and everything is going to turn out just as it is supposed to be.

Yes, Sean, there's always tomorrow. Unfortunately, that's what I tell myself when I didn't get done what I needed to do today. So I develop hope that I can get done tomorrow what I didn't get done today. As for tomorrow being a day without mistakes, that may be because tomorrow never really comes. At the stroke of midnight, it becomes today, not tomorrow. Because then tomorrow starts at midnight today, at which point it again becomes today. So we make our mistakes today in hope that there will be none tomorrow. Hope springs eternal, as a wise man once said. Thank goodness for hope, which God provides to us and helps us every day on our journey through life.
As a follower of Christ, on those bad days that life sometimes brings, I remind myself that all of my tomorrows come through Him before they get to me, and that gives me the peace I need to deal with “whatever.”
No matter how long it takes when you're slogging through a "no good, rotten, very bad day", there's a light at the end of the tunnel - and I have it on good authority that it's not a freight train! I try not to have too many expectations (because "that's how you get your 'specs broke") but it's always a good thing to hope - and even better to pray!
Have ya ever had a morning when your fat fingers kept hitting the send button before ya were thru thinkin? Anyway a gracious good morning and happy Wednesday to all call.
Depression is a hole that I fill in with shovels of hope,humor and prayer. A lot of humor comes from yall, the members of the Sean D. Fan club and I appreciate all call. The pack has been fed, it's getting light out and it's time to head over to da barn. Yall have a splendiferous day and ... Peace
Pone, I had 10 pounds er possum wrangling today in a 5 # bag. And I can hardly think to put Fanger keyboard. Just a small correction. You do know me and I do know you, and I'm mighty proud dats da way it is! Not to mention all da rest of my pals on here! Now in da words of Freddie Fender " lay my head, upon my piller- and sleep like er Banshee! Actually Freddie said it a little different, but Pube's done run out of gas tonight!
Sean, How did you know that today was one of those days for me.? Nothing really bad happened, just a bunch of little inconviences that made this a really long day. I'll have to admit I didn't handle them well at all. When I get overwhelmed, like I did today, I need to remember that my Grandma told me that this too shall pass and also that tomorrow is a brand new day. Thank you for helping me to remember that!!! You are a good man, Charlie Brown!!!!
Never abandon yourself to despair, refuse the futile backward look of regret over that which you cannot change. Refuse also to look back in pride, in self-congratulation. Seek grace to forget that as well. Discouragement on the one hand and pride on the other can equally rob us of our effectiveness.
There’s great peace in indifference to our circumstances (those beyond our control). The serenity prayer can act as a wonderful reset any time of day.
We burden ourselves with expectations of perfection. The self-centered kind. All that’s expected is gratitude for what we have. And to be kind, to others. There’s nothing better to get us out of our doldrums than those two things.
That sticker your Dad gave you when you were only 10 is a keeper, obviously. And one that holds the promise of a mistake- free tomorrow. Nothing guaranteed, but full of hope for a better day. And that’s what drives us…HOPE.
It’s often all we have to hang on, so never give up…your Dad is propelling you forward, so make him proud. What a loving gift that sticker was💕

“Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said”
Oldie but goodie by the Shirelles
Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV
[22] Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. [23] They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.✝️
“There's always tomorrow
For dreams to come true
Believe in your dreams, come what may.
There's always tomorrow
WIth so much to do
And so little time in a day.
We all pretend the rainbow has an end
And you'll be there, my friend, some day.
There's always tomorrow
For dreams to come true
Tomorrow is not far away.”
~ Johnny Marks, music & lyrics

Thank you! I needed this. 🩵

You are such an encourager! I'll keep this for a rainy day. I look forward to seeing you in Charleston in June.
