Expendable.
Alone,
With no family of his own.
He is last.
Last to be thought of.
Last to be invited.
Last to be considered.
Last to be served.
Last in priorities.
It is reality.
It is understood.
It is accepted.
It is sometimes oh so overwhelming.
Expendable.

🤔 NEW DAY #TuesdayThoughts:
It's a new day.
Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow is not promised.
So leave it all on the floor.
Work hard.
Play hard.
Love hard.
Retire with no regrets.
And don't look back👍.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON "Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays."
