This is much easier said than done. You will hear this many times throughout your life. Being a nurse, I get the opportunity to talk with patients that are nearing the end of their lives. People handle this in different ways. You have to balance this concept. You can't live just for the moment all of the time. In fact, may times it is the hope for the future that keeps the present tolerable. I think the important thing is not to put off the joy of the present in hopes of a better future. Don't miss the beauty of now. Continue to save money for things, study, eat right and train your body for future endeavors. But, don't wait to enjoy what you could be enjoying now. Some things, if put off, will never happen. Take chances without fear and, as much as you can, enjoy now.
It is so much fun to watch Livie and Irelynn enjoying the simplist things that life can bring. Watching baby Livie light up as she sees her toes or giggle when I rub her belly. Now that is living.
