   That is such a good quote. I am really becoming an avid reader of your blog! I used to play the old final fantasy when I was younger (FF3). I would spend hours in that game, basking in the intricacy and infinite possibilities of customization.

   I am a collector. I run around like a maniac, trying to get the rare swords and unique armor. It’s a sick fascination for me. But, I’ve made a new rule. No games till the bodywork is done. I often forget that I am allowed to have fun, be it with video games or dinner at Babbo’s, as long as I take care of myself.

   The quote comes from the way I have been living. Instead of being present, in an honest and grateful way, I look to the future to find my happiness. That is the wrong way to live. If I don’t pay attention, I may miss something important. And I find solace in the little things. Today, I remembered that picture of my desk. This afternoon, I can smile because of my dogs, or eagerly check the mailbox. I love letters. I need to do right by my life, and that means living in the now, not in tomorrow. And now, well, my life is so damn interesting!

   My husband runs into this problem a lot. He’s always looking for the next thing: the next video game, the next project, the next football season. About every 3-4 weeks he realizes this, has a slight breakdown in which he promises to live more in the present and things are good for a while. Unfortunately, I find myself doing the same exact thing. Sigh.

   I too live in the future and the past. I tend to like to start over so much because I feel like reinventing myself is the way to go.

   Are you talking about Babbo NYC? I love Molto Mario, I think he is the best in celebrity Italian cooks.

   No, Babbo’s is a little restaurant in College Park. The staff are friendly, and atmosphere is laid back, and they have a porch. I love eating outside.
