THE PASSING OF SUMMER AND THE FLOW OF LIFE
Here is my journal entry for this morning.

Where has this summer gone?!?
But then I feel that way toward the end of every summer I’ve lived so far. I doubt that feeling is going to change at this late date.
However, I more than half suspect that I am asking the wrong question. The question I ought to be asking is this: What am I doing, right now, with this day? Am I filling it with worthwhile attitudes and tasks? Am I doing what I need to be doing at any moment? Am I enjoying the day? Am I making the day enjoyable for others, as much as it lies within my power to do so?
If so, my perception of the passage of time merely indicates that I am enjoying my life and living well.
On the other hand, if I am wasting time regretting the passing of time, I’m just passing the time in an unhelpful manner.
So, today, by God’s grace, I will work hard, laugh whenever I can, cry if I need to, have some fun, make life more enjoyable for everyone with whom I come into contact (especially Sharon), learn something new, and generally live well.
