“Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.”
― Alan Watts

Life is not your past. Life is not your future. Life is right NOW. Relish in each moment and devour ordinary things like laughter, walking your dog, taking a hot shower, making breakfast for dinner, friendship, playing baseball with your kids or sitting and doing absolutely nothing.

I will refrain from posting pictures of frolicking children, buttercups, rainbows and pink ponies.

Pretend that you are going to get hit by a dump truck next Tuesday and contemplate how damn good that hot shower feels knowing that little tidbit. Be in the moment. If it doesn't come naturally, make the effort towards this goal. If nothing else, stop making everything about you and give away the kindest side of yourself every day. Believe in someone else for your religion. Sing. Sing a song. Make it simple to last the whole night long.

Lighten the hell up, you downer you.
