Blogs by Bo Drury Reflections 12/16/2007 11:11:49 AMtime past Today I realize I have done so little with my life. Why is that I wonder. Fear...of what... leaving home...venturing out...experiencing the unknown? No, I know, I never wanted to leave home. I clung to my parents and what was familiar to me. I dreamed of going to far off lands and seeing all the wondrous things but I always found an excuse not to venture too far. I was content to have my children and grandchildren and stay close to home with my husband. All the others have traveled and seen parts of the world foreign to me and I have been content but now suddenly I feel sad knowing I will never see these things. The opportunity is lost for I have grown old in my comfort zone. The reality of old age is hard. We look back on the choices we have made and question our motives, but do we understand them? Maybe we never will. When we are young we think we have all the time in the world so we wait, then one day we wake up and the time is past. Don’t wait for a better time to live your life, do it now. Make every day count. Make memories, for this is what warms our heart when we grow old. Have no regrets about the things you didn’t do, the dreams you let slip past, the things you could and should have said. Don’t let the moment get away. Live today.
