Starting Again

I have had a little wake-up call over the weekend; not one of those big epiphanies, just more like a gentle nudge.

Someone, of whom I am very fond, had a health scare and suddenly my priorities have seem to have been in not quite the right places.

Why do we wait sometimes for the perfect moment to call someone, start something or sort that thing out. Why not just do...

I guess it comes down to life getting in the way of life but it doesn't really make sense. I have a Peanut cartoon that points out that life is not really a dress rehearsal - you don't get to have any day, hour or minute again. It is just now and you have to live it to the best of your ability.

So here's to the sunrises and sunsets that we should take the time to enjoy. Here's to the smiles that we create and those small aha moments that we experience. Here's to savoring that taste and wallowing in that emotion.

Here's to starting whatever it is we need to start right now - one foot forward at a time.

Tomorrow has definitely become today.
