Deem every day of your life as a leaf in your history. Anonymous

Sometimes I get so scared that I'm not living enough.

I can't just sit on the couch and do nothing.

That thought scares me. 

I hate wasting days doing nothing.

If I feel as if I haven't contributed, I get very sad and anxious.

I guess everyone has the option to live, or to live well.

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. 

-Robert Fulgham

I've heard it said that it's later than we think.

Life is shorter than we realize, and I don't want to waste any of my time. 

Today, I woke up, put on my sparkly special occasion shoes,

went out the door, and made big plans for the day.

I'm going to be taking photos of the house, working on custom paintings,

 and I'm going to make a delicious meal tonight.

I'll even light the candles. 

Because today is a special occasion.

It's today after all, and this day in history won't happen again.

"The masters in the art of living make little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their minds and their bodies, their information, their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which, they simply pursue their vision of excellence at whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing."
James Albert Michener
