"Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake." --Marie Beyon Ray We only have this moment No more is guaranteed So fulfill your dreams right now And to your soul pay heed In your hand a melting snowflake That's here and then is gone We have this day of promise In which the sun has shone We cannot hold tomorrow It is not promised us So take hold of the moment And do not fight or fuss Yesterday is over Mistakes are wiped away We only have this moment So live your dreams today Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Much truth here. Time, irreplaceable marches on and it's remainder need be spent in something resembling contentedness. Vainglorious trappings be damned, peace and written reflection now the goal. Enjoyed "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

Hi K, like this, it is my new motto actually, all wrapped up in a nice poem. Trying hard to live for today now, wonder why it seems so difficult to do Sandra |

well said! Definitely the way to live! We are all human and make mistakes, but we learn from them as each day passes and we encounter new things. RP [This message has been edited by RosePetal (edited 11-24-2001).] |

Good to hear from you again, Keth. I've missed you and have been wondering how you are doing. I enjoyed this, and I agree, time is but a snowflake. Today is the best day . . . make it happen. e |

If anyone runs short, I have a backup supply of snowflakes that might make it through another day. Just kidding. You have written a basic truth, Kethry, all we really have is the moment. |

Keth darling sister of my heart, Okay i'm here, you don't want praise and stuff do you? Good grief, work, work, work, I've told you it's okay haven't I? (tsk, well alright it's not too bad) Don't go feeling sorry for her now, she'll expect sympathy and stuff. (Actually I wonder if I can talk like that to you here, darling girl. Maybe those who don't know me will think I'm being mean to you!) Oh it's alright you who don't know me, and I expect I've been forgotten, ask Paula or Sunshine, they'll tell you I'm really not too bad. (Okay they'll lie through their teeth for me, because they are both very sweet innocents) Yes darling girl, deep breath, this is utterly utterly wonderful, okay that's it, praise over. Now go and write more, don't stop. You have the time I'll expect a whole heap when you get back home. What do you mean you're resting!! Certainly not, work work, work, or I'll take the chocs away.   Take care love and warm stuff as always Slushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 11-25-2001).] |
