Mental Note

I decided long ago that I would only allow myself to live in the moment- relatively speaking- and take life as it comes- free from stress and worries. It actually IS possible- and wonderful.
I know that I will never regret skipping a class to go and help my friend choose her wedding dress (I was called in on official bridesmaid's duty, I couldn't say no), and I won't think twice about taking off work for the weekend to visit a friend out of town, even if it will make it slightly more difficult to pay the bills later...
30 years down the road I will never remember that one class, or one weekend of working- thats not the stuff that life is made of.
I love it when you realize in the middle of doing something that this is a moment that you will remember forever- then you try extra hard to soak in all the details- so your memories can be vivid.
It takes discipline to learn to enjoy and appreciate every moment for what it is. But once you get there... ooo, life is sweet.
