Stop Planning! Start Doing!

We lost Patsy Dunaway, Carrie's stepmother, to cancer this week. It made me reflect on my life and why I'm here. She had over 200 people come to the funeral. It was a true testament to the lives she touched.

During her last days on earth, there were things she told the family she still wanted to do. She wanted to go to Charleston and Hawaii. So many other things still yet to accomplish.

How many times to we say, "We'll do that or go there when we have more time, more money or when the kids are grown." Live everyday as if it's your last. Think about the affect you are having on others. As Michael Burt wrote, "This ain't no practice life." You only have one shot at this.

Try to live your life so there is no regret at the end of it. The things we worry about and argue over, are most often trivial in the grand scheme of our lives. So stop spending so much time planning and wishing. Go make it happen!
