..... So it will be a lovely creative day I plan for her. I think we might wind our way along the North Shore world today. We are meeting at the front door at 10 am. I think it should be a bit of tripping down memory lane, no stress, no rush. Morning tea at T2 in Hornsby. Then wander down to a few interesting shops. Some sushi for lunch. Some more wandering. Some chatter. And then home. I will get her a little something to keep. A rememberance of this day together. Laura has wonderful adventures to look forward to. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. We all know the saying. I even had a poster in my room when I was 18 or 19. I remember the words as a mantra for life. Bryce and I saw this French film last Saturday "the first day of the rest of your life". It still speaks little stories to me throughout this week. It says, no matter what has gone on in the past, take this day and savour it. As Eckhart Tolle would say ..." Live in the moment / Live in the now" and as all the counselling body would say... "live mindfully". Be present. Live in the moment. Don't dwell in the past. You have only got today. Yesterday is passed. Tomorrow never comes...
