"We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?"

Life has been awful

I reflect as close to a happening as possible and then at night also to recap. But, I choose not to be virtuous... seems to me that virtue infers there is sin, which of course there is not. For me it is a striving for perfection, but accepting never to be perfect or mastered anything. As for infirmities... have you ever looked at the word disease... dis-- ease... ill at ease... I have a severe rare medical condition, but... I have several severe difficulties in life, but life is not difficult. I have never been so well mentally, emotionally, and spiritually... much less ill at ease.

Yes...and I'm especially proud when I've stayed in one place, remained sane, and laughed at least 23 times in spite of kids having stomach flu, dogs that crap in my yard, and the pesky check engine light that keeps coming on. You CAN cry too much, but you can never laugh or dance too much...uhh unless you have the stomach flu.

No. Live each moment for it's own sake, for you will never have it again. Live each moment for it's own sake, for you do not know you'll ever have another. Live each moment for it's own sake, because then you will always work towards right, and the next moment won't matter.

I don't normally, but i really should. Sometimes the Lord reminds me of the things that happened.

Very good advice, as long as you aren't looking backward too much to continue forward. Dont do that often enough, myself...

I love Seneca. No I don't at least not as often as I should.

I reflect, but don't analyze
