Quotes and Notes #83, January 23
“But nobody ever tells you in advance when you should concentrate on the good times—that’s why you’re supposed to do it every day.”–Jordan Sonnenblick, “After Ever After”
I pack the good times into three categories, remembrance, creation, and anticipation. I love it when I can remember and share the laughter and good feelings of the past. I love the acts of a random sharing of cheer and good will and the good feeling that they give me, and I enjoy looking forward in anticipation.
I have a good friend who enjoys life, even through adversity. While discussing something one day, I asked, “Tommy, did that make you angry?” He gave me a kind look and replied, “John, I don’t have time in my life for anger.” I remember that, yes I do. –Pet a dog. Share a smile
Everything is going to be all right.
