  nice posts... kinda remind me of a book i read on my birthday...

  it's entitled "yhe power of now" by eckhart tolle... very powerful book about the power of living in the present moment... ;-)

  Hey ya frags! awww.. thanks for being so sweet.. you're making my today even better! hehe..  :-)
  
  Hi queen! I should read that book I think.. I'm very prone to drifting off day-dreaming abut the future etc.. especially when I'm attending lectures! lol.. :-D

  It almost starts to feel like I'm living life in 'wait mode'.. waiting to reach the future I keep dreaming of.
  
  Get...  Out of my head... 
  
  Hope you have a nice day today.  :)

  live in the present
  plan for the future
  past who cares
  
  

• diabolicdame said on May 13, 2009....

  ipmat.. yep.. those are my thoughts too.. except nobody's seen the future so no point dwelling too much on it (like I tend to).. planning is important though.. and fun!  :-)

  I love your energy, ddlicious!
  
  I was going to leave the one line comment as is, but your words transported me to a time I spent living in the future more than in the moment...
  
  As I have told you countless times you remind me of my friendships in college.  The best years in my life.  The dark spot on these best years, I was much in a hurry in my head to attain my goals to have a life in Europe, that I feel I lost some precious moments, I should have savoured with the people that gave me so much positive thoughts, and energy to achieve my goals.  (Just came to me by BFF use to call me Hyper-Jo!LOL)
  
  Welcome to today, dia, isn´t it grand!?! :)

  Awww, what a good post!  Happy to see you made it to today!  Lol.  Sometimes I think people can be such time travelers, living for the future and trying to be IN the future, ignoring the present and dwelling on the past.  The present often gets forgotten and it's usually quite an interesting awakening when it's noticed again.  I hope you get the most out of it!  Sometimes the present can be sort of like a vacation spot in time ... take a break from being in the future all the time and relax.  :-)

• uniquely-ironic said on May 14, 2009....

  nice blog!  Yes, I spend too much time planning my future.  I should take the time to enjoy the here and now.

• diabolicdame said on May 14, 2009....

  Dear Jo.. they call me hyper-dia too!! lol.. I can a wee bit too.. err.. energetic at times.. hahahahaha.. thanks for your sweet words as always.. and yes, I realised I'm thinking so much about my goals and how to reach them that I'm completely missing out on the right now!! It is indeed a grand day!  :-)

  Hiya hege!! Taking a break from the future.. I know what you mean..and I needed this break! lol.. for the past many months.. years even.. I've been consumed by planning /arranging/ praying for the future.. lol.. thinking only about right now is rather freeing!  :-)

  moonie, noooooooo.. lol.. hahahahaha.. you know what the worst part is? As soon as I saw the first line my brain instantly started going through it all looking for bugs/logical-syntactical errors/visualising the output etc.. hahahahaha. no I can never be free from this C! I'm even starting to enjoy it.. yikes!!!!  :-D

  Thakns uni! The here and now is so easily ignored, huh? Even though its right in our faces!  :-D

  Nice post, we all need to take more time to smell the roses.

• cuppajava said on May 14, 2009....

  Inspiring Post Dbabe - got me thinking - maybe i should give it a try............so,besides feeling good about life - how are you?

• pleasantskies said on May 14, 2009....

  Great post. It's true. Life is happening right now, not yesterday and not tomorrow. We let those ideas rule our thoughts, while its good to reflect, its not good if that's what your daily routine is focused on. I've said that about myself, like I'm waiting to start living my life, only I never when or how to start because there is always tomorrow. 

• diabolicdame said on May 15, 2009....

  Thanks MsStar! Its so easily overlooked.. but yes we all do need to take the time.. the roses smell great!  :-)
   
  Hey cj! Yes give it a try.. you might be surprised.. I'm quite enjoying the present myself! Other than that I'm good and being worked to the bone! hehehe.. how are you, friend? 
   
  pleasantkisses, thanks! Yes life is happening right now.. what a nice way to put it! I think you should start on an impulse.. whenever it strikes you.. and not even think about the possiility of tomorrow!  :-)
