Over the weekend, my high school classmates got together for a reunion in the form of a picnic at a local park. Despite the chilly weather, we had a great time reconnecting and reminiscing. One friend told me she had gone to Belgium and visited with relatives. She'd been meaning to take the trip for years and only recently got around to doing it. Her only regret was that she hadn't done it earlier. She added if you really want to do something and have the opportunity, you should do it. You may never get a second chance.
That reminded me of the time seven years ago when my son asked if I would like to go skydiving. I was visiting him in Florida and we were casting about for things to do. He was surprised when I immediately said yes. What he didn't know was that ever since I was a child I had wanted to skydive. I knew if I said no I would most likely never have another chance and would regret it for the rest of my life. So we went, we jumped and it was the most terrifying - and exhilarating experience I have ever had.
Is there something you've always wanted to do? What's stopping you?
