- 0:30front of the judge in the courtroom. The judge as the first man,
- 0:36why are you here. The man replies, I am here because I threw
- 0:42peanuts in the elephant enclosure at the zoo. That's not so bad, says
- 0:50the judge. The judge goes on to the second man, why are you
- 0:55here? The second man replies, I'm here because I threw pea nuts in
- 1:02the elephant enclosure at the zoo. Surprised, the judge looks at the third
- 1:10man and says, let me guess you too threw pea nuts in the elephant
- 1:17enclosure at the zoo. The third man looks at the judge, shakes his
- 1:23head no, and says, no, your honor, my name is pea
- 1:30nuts. We spend way too much time and energy and worry waiting for tomorrow,
- 1:51for Friday, for payday, for a raise, for vacation for retirement.
- 2:00While we spend time waiting for some future point, life passes us by.
- 2:07Because we are so focused on what is at some distant point down the
- 2:13road, we miss what is right in front of us now. Life is
- 2:20meant to be lived in the now. We will talk about this in this
- 2:25week's episode of Positively three sixty five. But first we have our trivia question

- 3:58Do you know the air to this week's trivia question. The question was which
- 4:05galaxy is the closest to our Milky Way Galaxy? The answer the Andromeda Galaxy.
- 4:16Yes, it is expected that the Andromeda galaxy will collide with our Milky
- 4:24Way galaxy in about four or five more billion years. I'm glad I won't
- 4:31be around to see that. But now you know life is happening right now.
- 4:48Don't wait. Enjoy the present. Simple moments like sunshine or laughter make
- 4:57a happy life. Each day is a new chance, so explore, learn
- 5:03and cherish. Forget your worries. Focus on what's here. Hugs, smiles,
- 5:13and adventures. They are today's gifts. Tomorrow is a mystery, but
- 5:18today is a treasure. Time flies, so savor the now, create memories,
- 5:27be kind, and relish small joys. Life is a journey, not
- 5:33a race, so live, love and laugh. Your stories unfolding make each
- 5:43page worth remembering. Embrace the now. It's your magical moment in this beautiful
- 5:48adventure called life. A gentle reminder from Pope Francis, this life will go
- 6:05buy fast. Don't fight with people, don't criticize your body, so much,
- 6:14don't complain so much, don't lose sleep over your bills. Look for
- 6:20the person that makes you happy. If you make a mistake, let it
- 6:26go and keep seeking your happiness. Never stop being a good parent. Don't
- 6:34worry so much about buying luxuries and comforts for your home, and don't kill
- 6:42yourself trying to leave an inheritance for your family. Those benefits should be earned
- 6:47by each person, so don't dedicate yourself to accumulating money. Enjoy travel,
- 6:59Enjoy your journey, pies, see new places, Give yourself the pleasures you
- 7:04deserve. Allow dogs to get closer. Don't put away the fine glassware,
- 7:13utilize the new dinnerware. Don't save your favorite perfume, use it to go
- 7:20out with yourself. Wear out your favorite sports shoes, repeat your favorite clothes.
- 7:30So what, that's not bad? Why not now? Why not pray
- 7:36now instead of waiting until before you sleep? Why not call now? Why
- 7:44not forgive now? We wait so long for Christmas, for Friday, for
- 7:50reunions, for another year, for when I have money, for love to
- 7:59come, when everything is perfect. Look, everything perfect doesn't exist. Human
- 8:07beings can't accomplish this because it is simply not intended to be completed. Here
- 8:16here is an opportunity to learn. So take this challenge that is life and
- 8:24do it now. Love more, forgive more, embrace more, love more
- 8:31intensely, and leave the rest in God's hands. Amen. Thank you for
