today well-lived

For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well-lived makes
Every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn!
- Sanskrit poem

we've just passed the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. these are long days of sunlight and temperatures that encourage us to get outside. so we have extra time to live well and make dreams of happiness and visions of hope.

what will you do with your day?

my wish for each of us is that we spend time doing something we love with people we love. remember to stop and acknowledge the moments we enjoy. look back on moments that we've enjoyed in the past. if your present is not enjoyable, look for things you can change. if there are things we cannot change, we must find a way to live with our circumstances. if nothing else, we can close our eyes and imagine what we desire. using positive images makes me feel better. why not give it a try?
