One of my online buds was busy wishing that today was Friday already so he could start his weekend. I am certain he, like the rest of us, appreciates hard work, and the benefits of having a day off to re-connect with things he either had procrastinated on or is looking forward to beginning.
I wondered why he, along with a lot of us, was wishing his life away, one day at a time. We have this moment, this time at our disposal now. It is for today to do or live or feel whatever we are supposed to do right this very second. The thought does occur that we do not know with any reasonable amount of certainty if we actually will wake in the morning, or make it through the rest of today.
Why not spend this moment, this day doing, feeling, expressing, loving, or breathing everything today, right now, that the moment has to offer? Why not appreciate the job you hate or the house that needs cleaning, or the dog that needs a bath and turn it around to make these things we are trying to avoid and just do what we have to to the best of our abilities and live within the moment. Been putting off making a phone call to a loved one? Don't have time to visit someone you are missing in a nursing home? Missing that time to play with your children or your grandchildren? There is no time like right now, you can always be a couch potato after you die. Then is the time to 'rest'.
