This week reminded me once again how short life is.
I immediately thought of a friend who told me that there are no rules at our age, except those in our minds limiting our growth.
So now…
I don’t wait for special occasions to make life special. I use the good china, wear the cute jeans, buy the beautiful flowers, and enjoy dessert first.
I don’t wait to dance, or sing, or be silly.
I don’t wait to travel because illness or accidents can change everything.
I don’t wait to be kind because everyone needs a little kindness.
I don’t wait to hug my daughter or help someone or look for humor even on the darkest night.
I don’t wait to be grateful or to make memories.
