Sometimes.  Things do not always go as we hope, or wish, or dream.  But the day in and day out of it…. is what happens.

Pretty much… every day.  Sometimes others don’t want what we want.  That too.

Sometimes there are no bells and whistles, or sparklies, or pink unicorns, dag nab it.  It is reminiscent of watching reruns.

But it is this moment.  What we have.  Not that which is past, or that to come.  All we have is the now.

And the best we can do, in any given moment…. is to be our best.  To be true and authentic about life, and about living.  Listen. Watch. Learn. Act.  Lift up our voices.

Not only is it what we should do… it is what we must do.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
Buddha

Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.
Art Buchwald
