Looking ahead...

My eldest daughter, Allison, recently got me started on reflecting, and writing about, certain recollections on aspects of my life.   Presumably it gives me something to do after stumbling about on this good Earth for 83 years and might give my grandchildren and their prospective children something to read about concerning my place on this planet and the world's prospects.   I recently  responded to several suggested topics and thought I would show a recent response.   So...

Home sapiens have existed on planet Earth for over 300,000 years, starting in Africa.   I believe, as a species, we shall live for at least another 300,000 years.

Therefore I would advise my dear grandchildren and their precious  children to live every day to the fullest.

There is so much to be created in every day, every year and every lifetime.   No one day should be wasted in thinking tomorrow won't last.

Think of them as infinite and the rewards can be infinite also.   The achievements can be large or small.   The accomplishments can fulfil a lifetime and beyond.

Start each tomorrow by thinking of it today.

Now... I wonder what the the next topic will be?

Please comment if you wish.
