In a USA Today article, Robin Roberts paraphrased the writings of Lao Tzu shown below. I really like the message and will try to live more in the present....not easy for a guy who has spent most of his life oriented to the future! But becoming an "official" senior citizen makes me think about how uncertain the future can be....and the need to love and enjoy what I do each day.
“If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.”
Gretchen and I are looking forward to another great year in 2014; spending time with family and friends, watching the grandchildren grow, walking, biking, traveling, sailing, and volunteering. Retirement is busy but we'll try to enjoy it day by day....in the present!
