What a perfect quote to keep things in perspective and priorities straight. Live in this moment. :) Thanks for the lovely reminder! I hope your Christmas was lovely.
Hi dear Joey,
Turning toward another New Year I like this simple thought you've shared today... as well as the photo. Have a very happy New Year!
Meems
Joey, love your black and white picture. So simple but so elegant. Also, the quote is very inspiring. Words to live by. :)
I hope you have a wonderful New Year full of all good things!
Oh yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Beautiful photo to go with your quote.
Amy
So true! I wish you a very happy New Year!
Katarina
Indeed, Christmas was lovely, Nancy, as I hope your was. The quote seemed to go hand-in-hand with my photo. Thanks and Happy New Year ... it's been a joy connecting with you :)
I think I needed to 'center down' a bit, Meems, and this post helped me reflect. Happy New Year wishes!
Thank you, dear Beckie ~ I so believe in the beautiful quote ... may you have a joyous, peaceful and healthy New Year!
Do hope this finds you on the mend, dear Amy. Thank you and Happy 'healthy' New Year!
And a very Happy New Year to you also, dear Katarina.
This one is making me think...
I must stop that :)
I'm happy just to wake up today.
A magical photo, soft and natural. Happy New Year, blogging friend!
Brenda
Yea Patsi! You sound like my optimistic husband who pokes me each morning, as I sigh, and says, "Yes, we're breathing!"
Thank you, Brenda, my dear blogging friend. My wish for all ... let's enjoy the New Year, as best as we know how :)
And for this day, I hope it is the best!
What a great quote and one we should all remember each day.
I pray you are enjoying this wonderful time of the year. Merry Christmas Dear Garden Friend - I look forward to wishing you a Happy New Years in a few days!
((HUGS)) from my Garden to yours!
... as tomorrow hopefully will be, dear Anna!
I hope I will remember this tomorrow, Cindy :) Lots of heavy stuff goin' on!
Hi sweet Bren and thank you. Yes, this glorious season has been wonderfully full. Wishing you a peaceful Happy New Year and ... Happy Gardening!
Joey, just perfect! I think I need a big poster on my bedroom wall with this quote...or maybe I should just write it down where I can see it every day. To live each day to its fullest should be at the top of my New Year's resolutions.
It is easy to get caught up in yesterdays problems and tomorrows hopes. Sometimes we forget to enjoy 'right now'.
Marnie
Me too, Rose ... I think I might print it out and paste it at eye level on my desk.
