Now seems real ...

Every day I wake up thankful ... I know it sounds a bit holy-roller; I promise I will not break into a puesdo-religious rant. It's just that at this point in my life, living in the moment seems the best strategy going forward. I have had my fill of wishing and wanting both forward and backward. I have found that mostly this just distracts from right now, so I guess I've come to the realization that I really can't change what has happened and that I have no clue nor real control over what will happen tomorrow or ten minutes from now for that matter. All I have, all anyone ever has, is what is happening right now. So rather than waste my time on what I can't change or what hasn't happened I'm good with just this very minute ... now I can still make plans and I can think about what has already passed to find insight for how to deal with the right now ... but really plans can change in a heart beat and yesterday ... well, that was yesterday. Live now.
