The only place we actually exist in is the now. <br /><br />Which is all very Taoist.<br /><br />But I see nothing wrong in enjoying the anticipation of future events - that way we enjoy them now, AND we enjoy them when they happen. <br /><br />Have I told you recently you are wonderful, Pat?

Also, I think you can look forward and appreciate the current at the same time. I am both very much looking forward to wearing jeans again (such simple tastes!) but enjoying slouching about in joggers right now. Also looking forward to being able to jog again!<br /><br />You definitely seem to enjoy all your moments and are a fabulous example to us all.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-64370567276176686912010-01-15T22:44:35.023+00:002010-01-15T22:44:35.023+00:00I'm constantly worrying about this.

It's a nice way of thinking about it, and not so guilt-inducing as my usual take on things...so we shall enjoy the moment <i>and</i> look forward to things! I suppose that's not so impossible, is it?<br /><br />I also think that you are full of sparkle, and that is most infectious.

I'm 74 and look forward to future events while striving to make sure I enjoy the current moment, moment by moment. Hard to do, but strive we must.
