So what do I mean? "Living in the Now"
Some People live in the past. Mulling over old hurts or lost friendships.
Some people live in the future worrying about what will be or hoping endlessly for a "brighter future".
Depression I have found tends to come from the past and anxiety comes from the future.
So if you concern yourself with only today you will be a happier being.

About Me
- Robert Kidd
- Raleigh Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia
- Hi my name is Robert Kidd and I was born in Sydney Australia in 1952, My youth was a time of growing up in the Western Suburbs of Sydney when it took five minutes for the black and white TV warm up, thats if you had a TV- Nearly everyone's Mum was at home when the kids got home from school- You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny-All your male teachers wore ties-You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and petrol pumped, without asking, all for free- It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real Restaurant with your Parents- They threatened to keep kids back a year if they failed and they did- When a 1957 Holden was everyone's dream car-No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition and the doors were never locked- playing footy with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game-Stuff from the shop came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger- What a time it was Yeah
Hi Rob, my name is also Robert Kidd! I also grew up in the 50s and 60s and even now I am still growing up. I also waited for the TV to warm up and we had one channel, from 9 AM to noon, and then again from 5 PM to 11 PM. The rest of the time was just snow, which is appropriate since I live in Canada. We didn't play footy until my junior teen years... and then only with my girlfriend under the table. We did play softball in the summer and of course hockey in the winter. I was proud to say we had the only single parent family in town. Our milk also came in glass bottles set inside the screen door on the porch, but we sometimes got the big huge tin cans that held gallons of milk from my uncle's farm just down the road. I too am very interested in wildlife and would like to change my career to a wildlife photographer but I need to buy a camera first ;)I have kayaked in four different oceans, (east coast of Australia for a month) two seas, hundreds of lakes and rivers small and large. I have been up close to black bears, moose, elk, deer, bob cats, mountain lions (or cougars, as they call them here, and not the kind you find in the bar... well, a few of those too!). Anyway, just thought I would drop you a note to say how much we seem to be alike. Odd, isn't it?
