There is no expiration date on Fun

 

It’s odd how the view changes just by tweaking time.  When I look around this room today, I see everything as it currently is, all my books, my music, and this computer.  It’s all just sitting here.  But if I turn the time ahead by a couple of years and look back at everything, the first thing I’d question would be, why didn’t I enjoy a doughnut with my coffee, instead of struggling through that cottage cheese? 

Why was I postponing life?  Was I saving it for later?  All of the books, the music, everything else has no options.  It stays as it has always been.  The pages of the books may become a little yellowed and the music may lose its relevance, but I was free to just be.  So, what was keeping that life preserver wrapped around me?  Was I truly afraid I wouldn’t survive the storm of life?  Was I to stay at the water’s edge, and keep testing the temperature with my toe?  Why didn’t I jump in with both feet.

 

“Hi World, ready or not, this is me.”
