"This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now."
Ah, a good reminder, but I wonder why I need reminding so often?

Hi. :D I can't believe this... but I totally got immersed in that article you posted, and ended up writing a big long post about it. I wish it was short, and don't know if anyone will want to read it; but the process was good for me! :D So, I'm just here to say, THANKS, Patty... for the inspiration! You rock!
