79. A Great Day To Plant A Tree

Morgan said, “I know I’m on the right path.  But after we got home and my daughter went to bed, I spent the night beating myself up for getting addicted, for not going back to school, for not doing something when I first realized my marriage was in trouble.”

“I understand,” I said, “From time to time I still think about the opportunities I missed, and the stupid things I did. Water over the dam.  Best I can do is make the most of now.”

Morgan smiled. “My mother loved a Japanese saying.  The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago, but the second best time is now.”

“From this day forward,” I said.

Today I will plant a tree.
