Waking up on a Sunday Morning is rarely a luxury for me. With a life of paralysis there are certain disciplines which, if not adhered to, could lead to further compromises during the subsequent hours. I wouldn't mind these inconveniences but they are stressful and time consuming. Getting up late is a luxury to be relished and enjoyed. So I did this morning. Yes the option was there and no I had no "routines" that needed doing, so I slept.
A lesson that I have learned of late is to enjoy the life you have now,in fact don't just enjoy it, value every moment, squeeze the juice from it. You will never have this time again. Never again will you be this age and never again be who you are now.I don't care if you are overweight, in debt. or disabled. There's something to be squeezed from being you, now.
We live our lives like we eat an orange. We are so busy picking up the next piece we don't get to savour the sweet golden sunshine of the segment in our mouths. I will instead of, reaching for and dreaming of the future look for the good in every moment.

Beautifully said, Julius....and so very true. You are amazing and I admire you, and your outlook, greatly. x
I love your analogy of life being like eating an orange, Julius....Aren't we all guilty of not living in the joys of the moment!
