Live today.  Not yesterday. Not tomorrow.  Just today. Inhabit your moments.  Don’t rent them out to tomorrow.

  1. I do try.

    But I so often fail and have to try to haul myself back into only the ‘Now’.

    Good words but often hard to follow.

    What a beautiful scene! The perfect place to enjoy one hour at a time.

    I wish that life was so simple. Don’t we all regret parts of the past and worry for the future? It is possible, I think, to live in the moment but sometimes I feel that I am making a conscious effort to appreciate ‘now’. It’s a cliche that we recognise happiness after it is gone, but true, I believe. I wish I could relive my carefree student days and that I could bring up my children all over again. Not to change anything, just to experience it and appreciate what fun it was. How sad is that?

      I try not to have regrets because the things that I have experienced in life have made me who I am today. There are some fond memories that like you I would love to go over again though. Music at school, a social group I belonged to in my twenties to name but two. So no I don’t think it is sad :-)
