I've been griping and grousing about my back for a number of weeks now. 
It's painful.
It has limited my activities.
It has effected my mood.
I have not been the best partner to my bride.
I have neglected a number of agenda items.
In general, I have not been the me I know I am capable of. 
I heard from a friend earlier this week.
Another round of chemo for him. 
David....get over yourself!
It's just that simple.
The Sun is shining today.
 My pain level is tolerable.
Be thankful for everything.
The phrase Carpe Diem is actually only part of a longer quote. 
The original phrase is:
"Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero" meaning
"seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future."

The past is history.
 The future is not a promise there are no guarantees.
Carpe Diem.
Seize the day, or more accurately"pluck the day".

Sounds like a plan to me!
Shavua Tov!
