“Carpe Diem”
-Horace
For centuries now, we’ve all heard the term “carpe diem.” But is that enough to live life to the fullest in the 21st century?
The term first originated in Roman poet Horace’s poetry collection, The Odes sometime in 23 BC. In context, the full line in which it appeared has been translated as “Seize the day; trust tomorrow e’en as little as you may.”

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Usually, the aforementioned phrase is associated with a bunch of impatient kids squished together in a car with irritation laden in their voices.
Have you taken your temperature today? When I ask if we’ve taken our temperature, I am referring to how we measure our moods and emotions.

-Neale Donald Walsh
The following scenario is pretty much universal: Most hours of the day are spent at home, writing, reading, watching TV and/or chatting on Zoom with friends and family. If you’re fortunate enough in which your career requires a lot of online work, you’re still working. When you step out for essential needs, you may or may not have some kind of mask on.
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is THANK YOU, it will be enough.”
-Meister Eckhart
In a previous post, I had explored whether having faith has to equate to being religious. In it, I came away with the conclusion that while the two are often correlated, the correlation is not mandatory.
