That phrase from Chaplin is one of my favorites, life is definitely always right now, not yesterday or tomorrow, it is always the present and we have to live aware that it is not one more day, but one less, that's why: "full machine all the time". At least that's how I see it, that's how I feel, it's my philosophy.
Wonderful that it was an excellent night for you and your family and friends!!!
Quite right, my friend. You have to live, let bygones be bygones and be eager to move forward. Good wishes for you in this new year. Thank you for stopping by and leaving this beautiful message. ☺️
