  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

the future

hell, i dont know....

do any of you ever think about what life has to offer you a few years or even a few decades down the road??

what your job or your family will be doing?? will it be anything but good or bad??

how about your friends?? will you have more? or fewer??

will life as you know it seem to go on as it has? day by day?? week by week??

or might something like a lightning bolt change it forever?

would you want it to change??????????
do you want it to change?????????????

I live each day for what it is. No one really knows what will happen in the future so I don't worry about it.

Would I change anything?, nope not a thing.

I remember wondering back in the mid '70s what life would be like in 2000 and beyond. I mean, it was going to be a new millenium and all. Popular Science used to say we'd have all this futuristic stuff, spacey looking cars and all. Well, things have changed quite a bit but all in all, it's really not that different.
So now I don't wonder so much about the future

I do often. I try to do what Derek said and enjoy every day that you have.

Is that from your daily quotes? :widemouth

I worry about the future and I think it's only nature to do that.

CVM I'm with you. I worry about the future. I try to control circumstance but that is futile. Maybe Dereks approach is the way to go.

I'm an over-analyzer to the extreme. I do consider where I'll be...married, kids, house, what car I'll drive and everything else...

However, when you do that...you really miss out on the fun that is TODAY.

I don't worry all the time, more like think about the future. I try to do things now that will put me in a better place in the future.

Same here Cliff. I do my best to live for today, but you have to plan for tomorrow or you are in trouble when you get there.
