Taste the moment

I watched an interview with Betty White (Golden Girls) and she was asked about good advice she'd gotten in her life. And she replied that her Mum always told her to taste the moment and that she would never want to hear Betty say: oh, that moment (in the past) was so beautiful and only to appreciate life with hindsight instead of living in the here and now.

It related nicely to what I read and shared on facebook the other day:

"Stop waiting for Friday,

for summer,

for someone to fall in love with you,

for life.

Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it

and make the most of the moment you are in now."
