Blue skies around the corner

You take care too, Pat! It is so cold and yucky here in Brooklyn. I'm trying not to be longing for Spring with too much enthusiasm--after all, time is precious and one doesn't want always to be living only for the next moment--however...*whispers* I'm still longing for Spring...


which got me thinking am I wasting what’s left of my life by always insisting on having something to look forward to? For instance next week is our last jolly with the girls before Margaret – my dear friend leaves for pastures new. Then there’s my birthday lunch with the boys in March and in May we are forsaking our favourite cottage in Fremington and going further east to an equally attractive one. But I’m not wishing the time away – just relishing the thought of future delights. Rather like being on a choppy sea but the harbour lights in the distance are reassuring. Does that make sense? I do think it is important to live in the now. What do you think?

BTW if you need some self affirmation - and who doesn’t in a rather dreary January – go to Kim’s place . I’ll try to do the links but you know what I’m like and both Leah and Kim are on the side bar. Fortuitously.
