I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE ANYWAY. BUT I'M STARTING THIS ANYWAY. ELSA TODAY.
I do not like struggling with technology. But I drive a car, have electricity and running water, do not live in a cave. I have a computer and use it. And lately I have been trying to use Substack’s video technology, which even with the friendly suggestions from Substack guides, has not worked with my older computer. But some other video technology does work, which is why you are getting this.
THE BEGINNING . . . I’m not sure of quite what.
If you’re a subscriber to Elsa Thought Creativity Passion Life, please let me know if you have received this.
In time, doing this may be be ho-hum. Not at the moment. I’ve just decided to GO AHEAD. I recorded the video almost 5 days ago. June 9. Today I decided: NOW OR NEVER. And I prefer NOW to NEVER.
So here it is . . . Just under a minute.
Elsa Today - It's Always Today
There’s something I want to try - quick short videos. I’ve done lots of wondering and mulling. I’ve struggled with the technology. The Substack video technology does not fit naturally with my computer’s capabilities. Okay. Sorted out. So the next thing is to start. And that is what you are seeing.

Thank you so much Elsa. It is so easy for us humans to escape the present, to Romance about the future or its flip side, to be Nostalgic about the past. These concepts I read about in a book by Robert Masters years ago. So for me living in the present, today is where I want to be. Sure, I'm nostalgic about the past, I love telling stories about the past and I Dream / Romance about the future and make plans but the Here and Now is where I shine, where I am spontaneous, where I can be cheeky, where I can take risks, where I can laugh or cry by myself or with others. God bless
