Or perhaps just live in the moment accepting what is?

Do not forget to add babies and doggies. They are also reason to make one smile.

Nice rhyme....but please don't expect the worst. I always tell my husband not to say negative thoughts out there because anything that comes out of one's mouth is a 'prayer' -- expect the worst and you get it. Remember "from your angel's mouth to God's ears" or something similar saying.? We are all survivors, even in the worse of circumstances...until it is our time to meet our Creator. So do your best as no matter what happens, in a few days or even 5 years from now, what matters to you now, will not matter anymore, but just be a memory. Write it off as 'experience' and feel better.
Cheers.

Ideally true; but living in present is a very difficult task; we slip on to either past or to future.... Thank you very much Brian :)

Yes, one should be optimistic, no doubt; yet some preparation for untoward events is always good; thank you very much Izzie :)

Sometimes my mind is too slow and I can't catch up to the situation........ I suppose that's when my kayak would capsize..... :)
I really enjoy the water scenes and the appropriateness of your thoughts connected to them.

Sandy, I am different. My fingers are the slowpoke. My brain runs 1000mph so I have to sometimes, re-read what I just wote. :rolleyes:
