“Do not spoil what you have by desiring
what you have not;
remember that what you now have was
once among the things you only hoped for.”
Epicurus

Spoiled Moments
It is good to look ahead, to make plans, nourish hopes for the future but being grateful for what you now have at this moment is a treasure as well. I just found this quote but it is just what I need to plant myself in this moment.
Time goes by so quickly I wonder what time will feel like in eternity?
In this period of life it seems I am always in a \”should do, must do, better do\” mode. As if everything should have been done yesterday and I\’m running behind. Perhaps I need to meditate on plant growth. It seems that plants just grow and there is no tension about them but I could be mistaken there too. After all scientists now know that plants communicate and experience pain. Do they experience joy?
Well just another set of mysteries to be found out in eternity I guess. No end of questions to be solved. 🙂
Scripture quote for the day
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6

Patty, this is probably not the site to mention this, but I don’t know your other email addresses at the moment and don’t have the energy to look for them. I lost my beloved friend on Sunday. Having severe heart problems, the Lord called him home.
17 years ago my husband asked him to take care of me the week he died–and Keith has done so ever since. He had lived just down the road from our Condo–and had helped me daily morning and night to get my husband out of bed in the morning, and cleaned up before putting him to bed at night. I really needed to get away from all the memories in our living quarters, and Keith’s lease had ran out, so 14 years ago I bought a two family house–him and his dog having the first floor, and me on the second floor. We had our private apartments, but since he loved to cook, we ate breakfast and dinner together on the first floor, and I had minimal facilities in my dining room, when I needed a snack, lunch or whatnot.
Of course, I am heart-broken. He was only 74, and I will be 87 on Thanksgiving, so naturally I thought he would bury me, not me burying him. Fortunately his only sister flew in from New York, so she is in charge of all the financial decisions, etc. –but there is such a hole in my heart. Please, please pray for me. I really don’t know what I am going to do with this big house, and all that goes with a house!–plus being winter, and I no longer drive.
