Don't Wait

-to take that long walk on the riverfront to see the receding water; nature is amazing, take advantage of the ever-changing moments to appreciate how wild they really are and how lucky you are to witness them.

-to get those miles in that are on your training plan; push yourself and reap the eventual rewards.

-for your idea of the "right" person to come along and tell you they love you; love yourself, and make yourself available to the many soulmates that are out there, looking for you, too.

-to tell your dog how they came to be in your life, and you in theirs, again and again. While dogs can't talk back, they love to listen.

-to spend a good two hours getting through more than a few chapters in that nightstand book that beckons. Enjoy the adventure of getting to the end.

-to take advantage of a rainy, cool morning to sleep in; it's a rare delight, and when the circumstances are right, seize the opportunity.

-give some thought to your long-term plans; if they need to be modified for safety, comfort, achievability, make the adjustment and embrace the new plan.

-to hold the hand of someone you like very much; touch is an amazing way to communicate what words might not adequately convey.

-to feel good enough to smile. Smiles have a transformative power. Often, a smile can change your mood, and the mood of others. Win, win.

-to remind yourself of your worth; no one can dictate what you deserve, what you need or how special you are, that's up to you.

-to give a full-on hug to someone you know. Both arms wrapped around the other person, good sqeezing going on, maybe some hand patting. Get in there and make it happen. I have a good friend who is an awesome hugger, and when I ask for one I get one, and it immediately brightens my mood.

For a good example, see below:



I'm reminded of these things on a daily/weekly basis. Helps to write them down.

Plus, I just saw the documentary The Human Experience and it got me thinking...
