I have long believed the entire secret of happiness is to "be here now." Every philosophy or religious tradition that I know of has some form of this tenet: to focus on this moment, to not agonize over the past nor fret about the future.

It is so simple. And so hard.

Ain't that the truth. Right here, right now.

In college I traveled a lot and never thought twice about it. Now I find that I have to have something to eat/drink in the 30 min before I fly, or else I get physically ill. Also, during the flight I often find myself thinking morbid thoughts, UNLESS I'm flying with my boyfriend, or I am engrossed in a book/movie. Strange how our fears and thoughts change over time.

But your friend is right: we only have right here, right now.
