Each day in my email, I receive several inspirational messages. I read this one from Daily Buddhist Wisdom several days ago. I liked it so much I wanted to share it with you.
Try to be reasonable in the way you grow, and don't ever think it is too late. It is never too late. Even if you are going to die tomorrow, keep yourself straight and clear and be a happy human being today. If you keep your situation happy day by day, you will eventually reach the greatest happiness of enlightenment. (Lama Thubten Yeshe - The Bliss Of Inner Fire)
I say to myself almost every day, "Judy, today is the only day you know you have." It helps me be conscious of the moments whether I am enjoying the company of family and friends, working, doing laundry, cleaning house or any other special or mundane activity. I just know I want to live each moment and feel the bliss of inner fire.
I took this picture of the sun setting and two skywriters over Medicine Lake near our home in the spring of 2004.
