220315 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

Time, now, only, fin.

Flying though the air, soaring

To uncharted lands.

Daily Stoic:

I have today and no more. I have one life and no more. The past is gone. The future unoromised. Memento mori.

So why do I live so much of my life in places that both do not exist and which, even if they did, would not belong to me?

Wishing for yesterday. I do this often. My one true regret in life happened twelve years ago and I would give the world to have him back. I have yet to accept the fact as a Stoic should.

So instead, I use it. Tempest fugit. I hug my children closer. I try not to begrudge the story at bedtime. I look for ways to connect and also for garbage time to spend without expectations.

My future is what it will be, if it comes at all. I make plans for my loved ones, but not for myself.

For myself, I try to focus on today and being better. Today. That's the part I don't put off.
