I came across the above quote today which kind of set me back a bit. It pointed out to me at least that we have to live one day at a time. We cannot rest on our laurels and bask in the glow of past achievements, but rather live one day at a time and enjoy life to the fullest. In a similar vein, we cannot feel guilty about past mistakes or inadequacies and allow that to translate into fear of the future. Each day is like a new life or blank canvas presented to us with all the appropriate brushes and paints to create our masterpiece for the day. What will you decide to use for your new day? Watercolors? Acrylics? Oils? Or will your new day be a mixed media day?Happy creating!
Live well and prosper.

People often say living one day at a time. It is good if we can always live this way beacuse it keeps us focused on the now, not the past which we can't change, not tomorrow because we don't know if it will be there. But we sometimes still think about our past or future. Past is over. We just take it as a source of knowledge or experience. For the future, I have always been learning to balance out careful planning with living in the moment. Planning ahead helps, but don't worry ahead. Especially now, when I look at the people in my life and focus on being grateful for what is happening in the present moment, everything falls into place.
