Not perfect. But reasonably good.

Just as well that one can’t see into the future. I wouldn’t want to. I’d rather be surprised. Furthermore, I can settle for taking life one day at a time. Focused on now. Rather than on the past or the future.   Of course, one is supposed to plan for the future. And that makes sense. But to be absorbed in the future tends to rob one of the full breath of now. I know people who had lavish and secure plans for the future. But they died relatively young. All that planning went for naught.  They didn’t live long enough to retire. To reap the benefits of their plans. Every night, when going to bed, I’m pretty much at peace. Satisfied that I’ve had a good day. Not perfect. But reasonably good. –Jim Broede
