We all have that special outfit, fancy dinnerware, and a bottle of wine we save for a special occasion. Why is today not a special occasion?
Why do we put off the pleasures of now? Why do we save the good stuff for later? What if later never comes?
Today is all we have. So why not wear your favorite outfit today? Use your fancy dinnerware tonight? Make that exquisite dish or open that bottle of wine and savor every moment.
Why needlessly deprive ourselves of those simple pleasures? Today is special, and tomorrow can be again. Live in this moment. It is something we can do.
