Stop and smell the daisies

'Learn to appreciate what you have, before time makes you appreciate what you had.'

I think too much about the future and linger too much on the past, sound familiar? Yes, we all have that problem.
Life moves so quickly and we all get so caught up in the future that sometimes we forget to stop, take a deep breath and appreciate all the things we have at that moment.

I do all my best thinking outside, I don't know why but in a big open space in the country surrounded by beautiful flowers and tranquility, I have all of my best ideas, most impressive revelations and deepest thoughts. Every once in a while I'll go for a walk by myself and just enjoy being my age, appreciate what I have and not care about anything but that one moment.

A very wise man once said...
'The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live, and that is the present moment.'

So don't try to grow up too quickly or to plan too much for the future.
 Every now and then just stop and smell the daisies, live in the moment because you never know if it's going to happen again.
