The whole family finally went to see the movie "Up." I don't think I've cried so much at a movie since watching "Madame X", an old Lana Turner film, with my mom when I was a hormonal teen. (If you don't know who Lana Turner is, I don't want to know because that will make me feel REALLLY old!)
For the sake of those who haven't seen "Up," I won't reveal exactly why I was crying. But the movie really drove home a life lesson for me, a lesson that I really didn't "get" until I entered my 40's.
There never is a "right" time.
There will always be another unexpected expense, a work conflict, or some other perfectly logical reason to put off something until the "right" time. Unfortunately, what usually gets put off is the good stuff - a dream, a passion, a love.
So, whatever your dream, if you are still waiting for the "right" time, make sure you have "enough" time to enjoy it.
