Personal Thought for the Day # 18


If I would live in the present moment instead of railing against the past or fighting off the future, I would experience a wealth of calm and peace.

  1. I found your blog through Dooce and have been reading your posts. You write so beautifully, thank you for hearing your thoughts.
    I am originally from Italy and my mom and dad (to whom I am very close) still live there. I think sometimes we both feel like you described in your Easter post.
    I strive to live in the present but sometimes it's more elusive than the past and the future.
    I will be back to your awesome blog soon!
    Thank you again for sharing
    Cheers,
    Anita

  2. That is exactly what I think. Any other way gives me headaches.

  4. Sometimes life is just what it is. Living in the present moment does not change the situation. For me it is a survival strategy, but it does not guarantee calm and peace.

  5. I agree. This is something I often struggle with as well. How do we plan for the future then?
