Waking up this morning I feel a bit tired; my nose is stuffy, my eyes hurt, my throat feels sore, and my knees are a bit shaky. I don’t know if I feel like this because I’m getting sick or because I have to go to work. Just kidding; I love being able to get up and go to work. It definitely beats the alternative, which doesn’t require much imagination.
I watched a movie on Wednesday night, Kung Fu Panda, in the film the wise old turtle says, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that’s why they call it the present.” I was talking to a friend yesterday and he mentioned some issues that he was having. I told him, “Live in the now, don’t concern yourself over what God has for you tomorrow, when it isn’t even promised – you know, yesterday is…” When I finished he had this look in his eyes that showed something had been illuminated in his mind, he shook his head and said, “Thanks man that was really profound, like some kind of eastern philosophy or something.” I wanted to take credit for the quote, but had to admit that I’d gotten it from a movie, when I told him which one, we both laughed. I think he’s planning on going this evening to see what other tidbits of information he can attain. It’s funny how the simplest things can derive the most pleasure. Something can be learned in anything, I believe.
