Happy Birthday eve! This really resonates with me, I struggle in the same way to savor the moment I’m in. Thank you for your words, and may your blessings be overflowing this coming year. 💕
One thing about getting pulled into the future, is that it can be just as much about fantasizing about happiness as it can about worrying. And for me, it's the fantasies that are most problematic. The reason is that there is a very subtle temptation underneath them - to put my satisfaction outside of my own reach. Unhealthy fantasies are always built on the premise that today is not the day. It wasn't until my 37th year that I realized this was robbing me of joy (1 Thessalonians 5:16).
"Friends, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in life so far, it’s that you can only take the step right in front of you, no matter how small. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. One step at a time."
This is excellent wisdom, and positively stoic. I have also heard it rendered as "just do the next right thing." It always strikes me as easy until I start thinking about what it means. In any case, it serves as a good reminder for all of us! God bless you and the coming year, and enjoy many happy returns!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful words for us to ponder, and thank you for sharing your milestone with us. Praying for another purposeful trip around the sun.
