wedding month

17 days until I am married. It is a dream to marry your best friend.

As I was jogging this morning listening to my usual NPR podcasts which generally focus on books, religion, & music, I found myself inspired to keep a record of what I hear that snags my thoughts.
Alan Alda was speaking about his recent memoir things i overheard while talking to myself. He quoted Marcus Aurelius--'confine yourself to the present'. I think that was it. Alda applied it to living in the NOW. Now is now--in 5 seconds it will be gone & of the past.
Making the most of your time here on earth is what comes to my mind. How often I forget when I indulge in self-pity, quick to anger, or lack compassion.
