I recently saw this sign outside a Church:
'Yesterday is the past,
Tomorrow is the future, and
Today is the present - a gift from God'
How many of us spend too much time worrying about something that we have done and wishing we could turn the clock back and do it differently, or spend hours planning what we are going to do tomorrow, or the next day, or next week - when we don't really know what tomorrow is going to throw at us. This, quite often, gives us very little time to enjoy the present - the things that we actually have some control over.
So when you wake up in the morning say to yourself - "This is the first day of the rest of my life, I am going to make the most of it." Enjoy the day, with all of it's pleasures & opportunities, and take things slowly - make the most of the present - that gift from God.
It all sounds about right to me mate. Everyday is a good day and things that happen are part of life, bad things don't make life bad, they just make life.

You can tell why I've retired - the memory is going. I didn't realise that I had posted this message to your blog!! It was supposed to go on my blog - www.the-studio.blogspot.com (just in case anyone wants to have a look.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a blog???? What's a studio??? Who am I???
ReplyDeleteDiane, have a look at www.the-studio.blogspot.com and find out
ReplyDeleteI have already done that but the above address takes me too someone's blog who is German. No problem with that, but how do I find Mike's? It's obviously a 'girly' thing but at least it will give you both something else to rib me about! Just as well I have broad shoulders (infact that's probably what's up with my neck). I knew I could make both your faults if I tried hard enough. xx
ReplyDeleteOops try this one then www.mike-thestudio.blogspot.com
