Why is it that we all know the saying 'live for today for you never know what tomorrow will bring' yet most of us ignore it? I have discovered, too late, the value of enjoying what I have, and now my ability is severely reduced I find I have some regrets. I know that I will be able to resume my life in a similar way to the past, but I will always wonder if I couldn't have done it better, and with more enthusiasm. What I hope for now is that I can communicate to others the value in 'doing it today' rather than waiting and saving and preparing, when that which you have been waiting for may not come in time!!
I'm not suggesting that we should all throw forward-planning and prudent behaviour out of the window, but I do now realise that we should only set-aside enough for the future without taking away our ability to enjoy the present.
I hadn't appreciated that this condition of mine would bring out the philosopher in me but it seems to have awakened a part of my mind that has been dormant for some time. Who knows, maybe this re-awakening will bring forward some deep and profound thoughts from my addled mind.
But don't hold your breath!!!!
