For me, this is a very novel idea. I've spent so many years looking towards tomorrow that I'm missing out on the joys of today. Everything that I've been doing has been aimed towards tomorrow and not today. This includes everything from my being an eternal student to my still living as a college student.
Lately it has been hitting me that I am really not happy, and no pill is going to change that. Between my best friend's birthday last week (she's a month older, but only admits to being 10 years younger), and having my good friend, Jeff, really hitting the issue squarely on the head, I realize that I have to make changes now and live for NOW!
So what does that mean? Well, for one thing I need to look around myself now to see what is good in my life now.
For instance, my mom...She is healthy and lively, and most importantly, she is living for today. Whether it is her painting beautiful pictures, to entertaining her friends, to helping friends with airport rounds, etc. She is living in the now! I need to take some of those lessons.
I have a nice apartment...it needs to be made more homey vs. college dormy, but it is a nice apartment...nice and bright and has a lot of promise. So my goal for the apartment now is to make it homey!
My own little furry feline family...All 3 of them (I call them my 3 sons), are able to bring me to the present, especially when they all in a frisky stage at the same time. I love them to bits!
So the order for today is to live for today! Enjoy the sights and sounds around me! Get in better physical shape so that I can continue living for the day!
From time to time there will be multiple postings on the same day...this is so that when an event occurs, I can post it.
