I was struck by a thread this morning about Kris Kristoferson's Bobby McGee.

"I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday."

That one hit home in so many ways. She's been gone for eight years now and I couldn't stop thinking about those lines all day.

It also took me to the people around me now. Today, is tomorrow's yesterday. I want that line of song to guide me to be better to the people in my life.

1. You will be, my DU Friend

2. That's very wise of you, my dear 3Hotdogs...

Today is tomorrow's yesterday.

It sure is. And everyone who's in your life will benefit from your wisdom tonight.

That includes all your friends here on DU...

Thank you for saying this out loud.

3. Same. As long as I can remember, that line has always almost brought me to tears.

4. This is a beautiful OP. It's something I'll be thinking about for a while.

5. Thank you.

6. It is a great line but I think it was borrowed from a Merle Haggard song.
