Just a friendly push

There is a lot of ideas I hoard, hoping for a better time to put them in action. There are dreams I have set aside because it just doesn’t make sense right now. And of course, I can wait to see that persona another time. But that is not true. These opportunities are not guaranteed to happen another day. I am not guaranteed another day. My new, scary, goal is to use my time now. To use it well now. For me that means beginning to work towards the things I have dreamed of doing for years. It means being present with the people I have in my life now.  So here is your push.

Go to the family function. Go to the movie, even if no one else wants to go with you. Take the picture, even if the lighting isn’t good. Watch the game live. Wear the outfit now. Build the memories with those you love. Even if it might cost a little to get there, might be mildly inconvenient, or take a little bit of courage.

I’m doing an inventory now and invite you to do the same. What are all the chances, opportunities, and experiences I have been saving up, ready for another day? What should I go ahead and do now?
