The Quest

It seems that as I become a more seasoned person my outlook changes a bit. I realize that we don't have forever to live on this planet. We have to attempt to live out the adventures that we fantasize about before it is too late. 'Some day I will do that" has become "I'd better do it now." Any day I could become sick or injured, or a family member could become sick and need care, and my adventure days could be over. I feel grateful and fortunate that I have kept healthy and able up until now; but I don't take it for granted either. Seize the day!
