...11.28.10...



railing against fate is unattractive:
it imposes a nuisance and a burden
upon our friends and family,
some of whom might have more reason to
complain than we do.
on the other hand,
to make light of a big problem,
or to seem to,
tends to be admired..
destiny is deaf to our protestations.
so why not make the best of things-
with silent patience and fortitude?
~1,001 ways to live in the moment

the past is connected to today.
today will lead us into tomorrow.
it is all connected.
fate.
destiny.
past.
present.
future.
it is the present.
it is the moment that we live in.
we must live in the moment.
because the future.
tomorrow.
we cannot predict.
the next moment.
we cannot predict.
LIVE IN THE MOMENT
the beautiful, happy child in the photo.
is my mom.
tomorrow is her birthday.
please stop by here
to wish her a happy birthday.
don't let the past take away your tomorrow.
welcome to coffee hour.
welcome to this Sunday morning.
just BE.
