My “newly discovered” mantra …
Topped off a crazy week just hanging out with some good friends last night. Wings, surprises, and lots of laughter. B. had a good time, too, which is a huge bonus for me.
Found this quote today on a new site, “Vagabond” and thought it spoke to where I am right now:
“…So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards.”
- Edward Abbey
Enjoying life, one moment at a time. Truly living — giving myself for those I love and those who need. Breathing, experiencing, drinking life in. Laughing a lot. I think those are good goals for a simple life. It’s where I’m at — at least for this moment.
Good mantra – nothing about living should be too hard – I also hold to living a simple life and it works (less stress).
