Tomorrow is the first of December. Wow. Another whole year will soon be gone, and I seem to look at things in terms of years now, without the thought of simple months or days, which is scary enough as it is. People can't always accept each day as it comes, too focused on outcomes and plans for another time, often too far in the future to think about substantially.
We need to get off the roller coaster and spend a little more time with the present, and plan for the future in real ways, not allow our senses to skip over whole days or weeks to get somewhere else. So let's not rush into the holiday season, please! It's only going to be the beginning of the month, and while some people and things are going to be rushing around, don't allow time to simply vanish without an investment on your part.
We are living one big moment to another, and we're going to be disappointed when our ends come. The little moments count just as much as the big ones, and when we're at the moment of our deaths, we will regret more than we relished.
At that time, we're going to believe in the cliches about cherishing each moment as it comes, but like everyone else, it's going to be too late.
Carpe diem! And remember--the little things matter as much as the big ones.
