Calm before the storm.

Dear Diary,

A lovely morning for a sail on the lake. The calm before the storm it seems. A few hours later, the skies opened up and it was like driving through a car wash. We live our lives like that, imagining only sunny days...until the rains come. Then we can deal with it knowing that it will pass and the sun will shine again.

People who live in the future are full of anxiety. People who dwell in the past suffer from depression. But those who live fully in the present have only peace in their lives. The sail boat on the lake reminded me of this.

Embracing the present moment...
