Never, in peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the future. Happy work is best done by the man who takes his long-term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment to moment “as to the Lord.” It is only our daily bread that we are encouraged to ask for. The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

Heaven is now, hope is now, love is now and faith is now. The past is a memory and the future is a dream. Today, now and here, is when we will either be happy or sad, good or bad, tolerant or mad. Live rightly now and the past will fade as the future becomes bright. Live this day and this night as if it is the only one we will have. It may be.
Living, loving and laughing now,
Z gardener
