October Writing Prompt #8: The Future

Hello, friends. Tanner's prompt for today is The Future.

Tomorrow, I will go to school on the morning. My daughter will (hopefully) spend her day doing her laundry. I'll leave school in the afternoon, go do a few things at my second job, and then head home. We're getting Tammy's senior pictures taken tomorrow, provided the weather cooperates.

I usually think of "the future" as a big, scary thing. But it's okay to not know what "the future" holds. If I can look ahead and presume that tomorrow, I'm going to be okay, that can be enough.

Sometimes I'm not sure of that, and that's okay too. When tomorrow is just as overwhelming of a thought as "the future" in general, I have people I can rely on to help me handle reality. I'm not alone.

These may seem like simple sentiments. Often, simple sentiments are what I need. And that's okay, too.

That's all I've got for tonight. Stay tuned for October 25th: Silence.
