Enjoy The Now

　　If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year. Today should always be our most wonderful day. – Thomas Dreier
　　Planning for the future is important. We need to have goals and dreams. They act as our road map on this amazing journey we call life. But while it’s
　　good to plan ahead and look to the future, a lot can be said for enjoying right now. Some times it’s really great to just live in the moment and to appreciate those moments as they happen. I’m kind of thinking about the fable of the grasshopper and the ants. The grasshopper just fiddled away his summer days, and the ants worked like – well, ants, getting ready for the upcoming winter. When winter arrived, the poor grasshopper was all cold and had no provisions and the ants were all warm in their hill and munching out. While the moral of the fable, don’t put off to tomorrow what can be done today, is a good one, I think maybe those ants could have taken a page from the grasshopper’s book too and enjoyed some of the summer sun. So make your plans, and work toward your goals, but just remember to take some time to enjoy the now while you’re at it.
