SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for April 14
Thoreau, a renowned American Renaissance thinker, wrote in his journal: "Nothing must be postponed. Take time by the forelock. Now or never! You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." We shouldn't put anything off but seize the moment, living with all our being in the present. If we do that, he says, each moment will become eternity.
Well .. I was certainly correct about yesterday ... NOT my most creative ever, in fact, I only did the bare minumum of what I needed to do .... Seems, that as I get older, I don't recover from drinking like I used to do and I suspect that today will only be marginally better.
In fact, I did sleep in this morning and decided to make the most of the first day of the bank holiday by lying in Bed, watching Buffy DVDs ! ..
Not really planning a great deal today .. maybe a bit of flat tidying (or maybe not !) .. Definitely going for a swim in an hour or so .. just hope it's not full of kids as they're on hols ... grrrrrr little buggers !
And that's about it for today really ... maybe pop into town for a coffee, maybe a little work but all in all a nice lazy day (despite what the guidance for today says :-)
