Past or future? How about the present?

Today’s prompt asked if I spend more time thinking about the past or the future. It stumped me. The past and future are times over which I have little or no control. Furthermore, I recognize that at 73, I have more time behind me than in front of me. And as much as I like to think I’m in control of my health and living situation, my life could change at any moment. Recognizing that uncertainty, I try to remain in the present and do what I can today to stay healthy and flexible enough to handle whatever future might be in store for me. My thoughts focus on eating healthy food, getting a little exercise, spending responsibly, getting enough sleep, reading good books, and practicing gratitude. With all that I’m hoping that I’ll be able to handle whatever my future holds. I am optimistic about my chances.
