The Time Is Now

So much of our lives are spent waiting.  Waiting for the weekend, waiting for summer, waiting for the next big milestone.  

But the definition of life is not "the future."  Our life is not something that we are going to get to live when we finally get this paper written, when we finally get a raise, when we finally retire.  Our life is here, right now!  Every second of everyday is a special moment that we will never get back.  If we spend our life waiting for the perfect time to live it, we might just find that it passed us by. 

So today, instead of saying, "I'll do that someday" do something today.  Compliment a stranger, smile at something little, play a board game instead of watching TV, do something out of your comfort zone.  Put on some happy music and dance, get off the couch and go run, drink water.

We can't spend our lives wishing for tomorrow.  We need to live to the full, today.  Life is not made up of big events, but of thousands of little moments.

Here's to living our beautiful lives, today.
