Looking to the future, I remember the past... Savouring the moments While they last. So much in store Yet so much gone by... Sieze the moment! Before it dies. Opportunities To be had Take advantage And you'll be glad Time is something That caonnot return So use it now And let others learn Too many instances Where plans went astray: Chances were missed Though regrets will stay... It's never too late To fulfill your dreams... It's much easier Than it seems. Believe in yourself And others will too The future is yours But it's up to you...

You know how it is, Lone Wolf: easy to intellectualize and understand but quite the challenge to practice daily in one's life... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Thank you for the kind feedback. A "timely" coincidence, Walker: I'm going back for my M.A. too, hopefully this fall. Not much can be achieved without making a decision and following through with it. Good luck to you. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Well, Mark, again you give sound advice that is hard to follow. I truly believe this, yet my heart gets stuck in the past. I suppose it is because the present is so Non, that it is hard to live in the moment. Perhaps the future will be better. Dreams are all thats left. Sandra |

I hear you, Sandra, believe me. I'm all about the past, but I'm learning to "carpe diem" little by little. If the past is gone and the future's not here yet, what do we have truly but the here and now? I've got another poem for you to help put things into "PERSPECTIVE"... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Always important to seize the moment for soon it is past and we have only regrets if we don't use our opportunities well...James |

Well, Connie, I imagine that time is what you make of it: to some it is to be killed; to others they don't have enough; some try to beat it; others try to get more of it; in all cases, though, it teases us with its chortles, knowing that so far, it always has the upper hand over us... Absolutely, James. Easy to understand; clear in hind-sight; yet somehow a challenge to remember these things IN the moment... Thank you, Vandana -- smiles are contagious, in a good way. :-] "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

I hear you, SEA. Catch is not to forget about the part in between... Thanks for your remarks. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
