"Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; 

anyone who can consistently laugh

at himself does not."

~Vaclav Havel

How much fun do you have in life?  Do you take everything too seriously? Do you live like it's your last day?  

I can remember a time, not too long ago, where I was always more concerned about what is going to happen next, rather then what is happening NOW.  Through much support and sharing, I learned to live in the moment, to let my free spirit soar in the moment of the here and now.  I no longer worry about what tomorrow will bring, because, well, quite honestly, tomorrow may never come.

I have always tried to never take anything or anyone for granted.  It is so easy to get caught up in every day life that we tend to forget to tell those whom we love just how much they mean to us.  We get caught up in the trivial things that occur on a daily basis. We forget to "stop and smell the roses."

What if ... becomes a norm in our thinking. 

If only ... becomes the excuse of why we have become complacent.

Has your vocabulary been filled with "what if" and "if only" lately?  It's never to late to find new words and replace the current ones.

"The best thing about the future is that it 

comes one day at a time."   

~Abe Lincoln

One day at a time is one of the hardest concepts to really achieve.  It takes time, patience and understanding.  It also takes great courage to be able to let go of yesterday, live for the moment and not worry about tomorrow.  Once you realize how wonderful it is to live one day at a time, you feel a sense of relief that you do not have to go back to a way of living that involves unnecessary pain and suffering.  

Give it a try.  Go live for today and only today. Let the sun shine thru your life!
