Just Do It...Now!

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

                                                                                      Samuel Clemens ~ a.k.a. Mark Twain

A couple years back, I lost a great friend and recently retired work associate to cancer. Prior to his retirement, he said he wanted to do just a couple things when he quit working:

• stand on The Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains out West
• travel to Minnesota to the headwaters of the Mississippi, where he understood one can walk across that great river

Bob, very unfortunately, never got the chance; the damn cancer made those trips impossible. 

A lesson from which each of us can learn a great deal.
