"I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac, a little voice inside my head said 'you can't go back, you can never go back.'" --Don Henley, The Boys of Summer.
Live everyday in the present and enjoy every aspect of life. Even if life is treating you negatively, you will never be able to go back - so even those aspects become memory sooner rather than later.

An amazing book, an amazing man
I recommend "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch (with Jeffrey Zaslow)! I cannot explain how beautiful and inspiring this book is. A great holiday present, and something us, in academia, probably need to read.
For those who have not heard of the book, Dr. Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in PA, who had a part in creating the first virtual reality program, did a sabbatical as a Disney Imagineer, and had a hand in creating the computer programming package, Alice.
For those who have never heard of the book, I recommend visiting the website:
As an aside, I think that teaching about dreams and life's lessons does not occur enough in university/college atmospheres any more. Good reading, all!
