Today is enough

I made this as a signature line for a forum I visit regularly, to help me remember these important concepts. Life is about now! It's about what I choose to do right now. Remembering yesterday and planning for tomorrow are still both important, in their place; but both of those are built on today. I will not forget that today is all I have. Thanks to Jewells from Eyes of Wonder (see list of inspirational sites in my side bar) for sharing these wonderful words of wisdom.

I read this at SparkPeople recently. I know it's true, so why aren't I doing it? The new year is 10 days old, and I don't believe in new year's resolutions any way. I do believe in the continuity of the journey, however: that the thread of my life from birth to death has many wiggles, some spiky up and down bits, and some parts that do very little. I am weaving this thread of my life each day, each moment, and it is part of the tapestry of everything. So, about exercise. I shall keep striving, keep encouraging myself to do it, to love to do it. I will not give up, but I won't beat myself up either.
