Now is the Time

We have today. That is all that we have.

Tomorrow is not yet here, and we have no assurances that it will ever come. Yesterday is gone, and while it may be remembered with nostalgia, it is forever past.

Hang on to the now for its fleeting moments, for they, too, will soon become yesterday. Do things today that will enhance the chance of tomorrow.

Live in the now. Before you know it, your past will be richer and longer than your future, but looking back is no way to live.

Look around, smell the roses, hug your kids, love your spouse, rake the lawn, close your eyes and face the warmth of the sun, cook a meal--all the things that make living worthwhile.

And while you're at it, breathe deeply, and enjoy life.

And so it goes...
