"A Life worth Living is a life well lived "




Who said that? I guess it is a reminder to us to live each day as if it were your last. Effective. Worth remembering. Another cherished day. In years gone by I often felt like I was living "for tomorrow". Working hard today to make money "for tomorrow" because "who knows what tomorrow may bring?" But if I could have those days back, I would live every day like it was the only one I had. I would smile more. Laugh more. Kick back more. Not worry so much about what others thought or what impact my actions would have. Think. Think. Think. Too much thinking. And meditate. And bring on the calm. And the peace. And the harmony. Humm. And sing more instead of whingeing. And listen to nature. Listen to the breeze. Hear the birds. Feel the warmth of the sun. Bask in it's comfort. This is what is needed today. Today is all I have. I can't plan for tomorrow. I am wasting my time and not living in the moment. As Eckhart Tolle would say... Live in the NOW. I have to remind myself of that, or I may fall into old habits. Ah... today will be a harmonious and happy day. "Give us this day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it" (I know that verse from the Bible so well, and should make this my mantra). Have a wonderful day :)
