Awww...sounds like the perfect existence....it is something i strife for everyday...except when i am scheduled to work, or have an appointment...or other such mundane tasks of modern life.... ;)
Marty, what a beautiful way to say. Live in the moment! I would hate to have insight into the future. To know what is about to happen in life would be such a burden to carry. I have enough excuses that challenge my ability to live in the "now." To restrain myself from trying to change the future would be so difficult. If given the opportunity to know or not know the future I hope I have the courage to say, "No."
It's human nature to almost all the time want to know what lies ahead and from time to time, I'm guilty of it. We must embrace life for what it is and what it brings; the surprises and the unknowns. After all, that's what makes life exciting and living adventurous. :)
Except today. It's turned cold and drizzly. I'd like to be under the duvet both morning and afternoon!
ReplyDeleteToo often, I think I already know.
ReplyDeleteOn holidays, yes, always! But in daily life, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteAn adventurer - secure in adventure - it's a good way to be

ReplyDeleteAwww...sounds like the perfect existence....it is something i strife for everyday...except when i am scheduled to work, or have an appointment...or other such mundane tasks of modern life.... ;)

ReplyDeleteYes, a good discipline. There is only now! Derek :-)
ReplyDeleteIt happens to me every time I wake up!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish, but alas, my schedule is the only thing that helps me keep track of my kids.
ReplyDeleteGreat sentiment though.
Sometimes it is best to allow ourselves to drift along organically on the river of life. As long as we make sure we are on the right river anyway!
ReplyDeleteSmiles!

I know that sentiment only too well!
ReplyDeleteI know this line of thought. I use it too! :p
