As I write this, the UK is basking in wall to wall, spring sunshine. It has been like this for a week; not super hot, but warm enough to go out in a T-shirt. The trees, hedgerows and plants are all coming into leaf, there are blossoms everywhere. It looks wonderful.
Enjoying the sun or waiting for the rain?
Some people have really enjoyed the week. They have lived in the now, each day. They have felt the sun on their faces – really experienced it.
Others have complained all week, that although the weather is unseasonably warm NOW, the forecast is for a colder weekend. These people have ignored the now, focussing instead on what may be ahead.
Although we need to plan ahead, we also need to enjoy today. Life is a journey, not a destination. Postponing our peace of mind until a week from now, every week, means we never actually get there.
Live today!
