I have a page of quotes that I have saved for a long time around here somewhere.  I can't find it at the moment but I saw this one and while I fear it is far too simple an explanation for these things, it is something I think about.  I have to talk myself into thinking about things in the right way to keep me feeling strong and reasonably at peace with my place in the world.  It is just too much if I don't.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past.

If you are anxious, you are living in the future.

If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Lao Tzu

I originally put this on blog in September of 2019 and it sat as a draft till now.  How did it know I needed it again?
