Joyous Mary, first I've to laugh because I love the way you write.
Then I have to say - I really don't know if this happens only after 50*+22 because sometimes it happens to me at 50*+3!!!

I think that to live in that moment we've to really expand into that total moment, so that we don't 'forget' when the future is upon us!

btw, when did you 'remember the past that had been the future'?

An amusing musing.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT

I've been thinking this morning about "living in the moment" and and "forgetting the future."

How can one forget or remember the future, when it hasn't happened yet?

Remember dear reader, This is the "50+ stars: a half century and more on earth group" and being 50 stars + 22, I have lots of time to think about plenty. Such as the conundrum I present today.

Yesterday is an example:
(The present now past)

I was happily living in the moment without thought of past or future. In that moment, I made a commitment to be somewhere that evening. That would be "future".
I continued on living the moment and soon noticed that the future had become present and I had forgotten.

The future that I expected in the morning, came and went and I was not there.

I don't recall ever noticing this situation.

Is this what happens when a person has a long past, an abundance of time, and a future shorter than the past?

What do you think?

Joyous Mary <:)

I can just taste the peas in the pod. I loved eating them from the garden. In Delhi, where I lived then, they grew only in winter.

Hi Lizzyl

Mum and dad made an unexpected visit this morning, and as usual my dad took himself out into the garden, he came back with an empty pea pod, looking a little guilty - he had enjoyed the fruit or should I say veg of my labours!

Just an update on my garden. I am happy to say that everything is blooming and I saw my first tomato this morning.
It's going to be great to eat of the fruits of my labor in a few weeks.

True, Jeannie. And isn't it somehow enhanced when we share those experiences - whether hard knocks or soft ones? We can share and learn so much from each other.
