Something small but poignant
I received this from my dear worldly-wise aunt. I thought I might share this with the rest of you.

Below is an abstract from Fr Heng’s Christmas Homily which I fully relate with. Wish I was wiser when I was younger.
"I want to sum up with a little story. In this story, we have a conversation between this person and God; a deep conversation. He asked God, “When you look into the world, when you look into our human lives, what do you see and sense?”
And God answers, “many of you are very bored with your childhood, so you rush to grow up, and then when you grow up, you long to be children again. You lose your health to get more money and then lose your money to restore your health. You think anxiously about the future but forget the present. And so you live neither in the present nor in the future. You live as though you will never die and die as though you have never lived.”

Very Very insightful post so maybe perhaps “the past should stay in the past, the future should stay in the future”….”What we have is only the here and the now!”.. PARTY ON!

how true.
Pity that most people do not realize this fact until most of their life has passed them by.
