A Better Day Tomorrow

I collect quotes about change like other people collect stamps or bird figurines. I found this quote in a novel I read over the weekend, Welcome to My Planet by Shannon Olson:

“Your father,” says Flo,” Always felt that tomorrow would be better. Tomorrow would be a better day. That everything he couldn’t be and do today would magically happen tomorrow. The thing he never understood,” she says, “is that you have to make those changes, you have to take steps to change things, or the next day will be the same,” she says, “with all the weight of the day before on top of it.”
