Today

Intellectually, I know that the key to happiness is to be content with what you currently have. But that’s easier said than done.

I think I sacrifice a lot of potential current happiness obsessing about the future… paying off the student loan, getting away from Santa Cruz, buying a house, etc. I’m not entirely sure how to stop doing that.

I’ve heard it said that you just need to think positive and that attitude will become reflected in how you truly feel. I think it’s easier to think positive when you don’t have all that much time to think… and as an accountant in a job that has become extremely easy for me, I have waaaaaaay too much time to think. And most of what I think about is our plans for the future.

Short of getting a different job to occupy my mind, I’m not sure what I can do to live more in today.
