A little light reading 🤣 A nice reminder to attempt to live in the NOW and enjoy the present. “We are so concerned with tomorrow that we forget to enjoy today.” #truth

If happiness always depends on something expected in the future, we are chasing a will-o‘-the-wisp that ever eludes our grasp, until the future, and ourselves, vanish into the abyss of death.

What is the use of planning to be able to eat next week unless I can really enjoy the meals when they come? If I am so busy planning how to eat next week that I cannot fully enjoy what I am eating now, I will be in the same predicament when next week's meals become "now."
