It's not easy being a Groundhog on February 2nd . . . or a School Superintendent the night before a Snow Day! With his usual veritas and hilaritas, Brian Andreas captures the dilemma of the prognosticator:

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!
*One StoryPeople reader shares this from Peanuts:
Linus:
"I guess it's wrong always to be worrying about tomorrow.
Maybe we should think only about today."
Charlie Brown:
"No, that's giving up. I'm still hoping that yesterday will get better."
So irrational, yet, so hard to stop hoping for that better past . . .
Wise Lily Tomlin says:
"Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past."
And Anne Lamott's version, just slightly different:
"Forgiveness means giving up all hope of having had a better past."
One more from Charlie Brown:
Charlie Brown:
"I keep having these tiny self doubts . . . do you think this is wrong?"
Lucy:
"Of course it's wrong, Charlie Brown . . . "
I like your observations about Groundhog Day much more than the movie of the same name. I can't imagine anything worse than living the same day over and over again. I'm so anxious each day to see what tomorrow brings. I like the Story People quote, too. They're sayings are so funny but so true.
