calveless wonder said:and yes, great quote! past and future thinking is very dangerous. present moment is the only time when we truly enjoy life. Great book that relates to that is "the power of now" by eckhard tolle.
anyways, thanks
LOL....this is the FULL quote from my dad:
Four - I meant it when I said to stop looking so far down the road last night. One of the great problems we create for ourselves is the spinning out of potential futures, none of which have any reality to them at all. One day at a time is enough. What's the best thing to do today? What needs doing now? Keeping yourself focused on the present moment is a great thing. I have a book in my office I give out sometimes called "The Power of Now." It's not particularly Christian, though the author likes Jesus okay. I think he calls himself a Buddhist, but it doesn't matter. He has some good things to say about focusing on the present. If I send one to you, will you read it?
