A full life ! I see No bunkers only the Green!


This morning Vinod and myself went to play Golf. A beautiful day - bright sunshine and roman blue skies - and the beginning of spring in the air
We played a few holes and then decided to cut across the course . At the ninth hole we met 78 year old Signor Padula - 78 years of life behind him but an attitude which made us feel that he had more than 78 years ahead of him!
We asked whether we could play with him and he replied " Si Si.... Prego" - and gave us a smile brighter than the sunshine around us.
At that point I was filled with a sense of wonder for an old gentleman who lives life everyday - enjoys it everyday - playing a game for the joy of it- not competing - not cursing his luck that he was in the bunker - but just enjoying the sun and the air !
Living everyday ... enjoying every moment- seeing only the green and not the bunker- that is what I truly believe in and wish that we all would do the same.
Ciao Buona Giornata !

    Premi, you write so well!I totally agree with you about living in the present...life in itself is a gift to be cherished! I share with you a few quotes (MY long-lost passion, re-discovered!)that are relevant....."WITH THE PAST I HAVE NOTHING TO DO, NOR WITH THE FUTURE; I LIVE NOW" (Ralph Waldo Emerson)...."LET THE CREDIT-CARD COMPANIES MARKET AS THEY WILL...THE ONLY THING PRICELESS IS NOW!" (Caleb Baylor Hive)...and my favourite...."IF YOU HAVE ONE EYE ON YESTERDAY, AND ONE EYE ON TOMORROW, YOU'RE GOING TO BE COCK-EYED TODAY!!!"(Anonymous)
