“It's a funny thing about life, 

once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, 

you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.”

A Memorial Day Tribute...

Today in the United States we are celebrating Memorial Day (formerly known as Decoration Day). It commemorates all men and women who have died in military service for the United States.  Below is a link to a video of a Brooklyn, NY Decoration Day parade taken many years ago by my father, who was a veteran of World War II.

BE. HERE. NOW.

"Do not dwell in the past, 

do not dream of the future, 

concentrate the mind on 

the present moment."

Because now is now. It can never be a long time ago.

On the last page of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s book, The Little House in the Big Woods, she writes of an evening in the cabin with her family, her father playing the fiddle, her mom knitting in a rocking chair. “She thought to herself, ‘This is now.’ She was glad that the cozy house, and Pa and Ma and the firelight and the music, were now. They could not be forgotten, she thought, because now is now. It can never be a long time ago.”
