Enjoying Quote by Jean Webster
““I've discovered the true secret of happiness, Daddy, and that is to live in the now . Not to be for ever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant...I'm going to enjoy every second, and I'm going to know I'm enjoying it while I'm enjoying it. ””
