MIGHT AS WELL DANCE Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they havent thought about it, dont have it on their schedule, didnt know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. We need to think about all those people on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. Then we will be a little more flexible. How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched Jeopardy on television? Because People cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches.. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect! Well go back and visit the grandparents when we get Tommy toilet-trained. Well entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. Well go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college. Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of Im going to, I plan on, and Someday, when things are settled down a bit. When anyone calls my seize the moment friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and youre ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of roller blades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord. Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to...not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? ;And why are you waiting? Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand why I sent this to you. Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterflys erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, Well do it tomorrow. And in your haste, not see her sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say Hi? When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away.... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over. Life may not be the party we hoped for... but while we are here we might as well dance..Blessings Larry.
