The world is my oyster! Jackie Gleason's famous line sums up a philosophy of life that suggests that life is...a pearl! I like the idea that among the myriad of life experiences that exist, letting an opportunity to do something that you've always dreamed of doing, undone, is a waste. There is a country song, I love that talks about a guy who has only a short time to live, and he "went skydiving, Rocky Mountain climbing, and 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu!" The song  implores us to "live like you were dying!"

All of us find reflective moments when we ponder what life would be like, if only we had... fill in the blank. The trick, as I see it, is not to run off to do foolish things, but to make sure that while we are here we don't let the opportunities to live a full life pass us by, and most importantly to let those we love know how much they mean to us.

Living life large, doesn't mean, you need the treasure of the Incas...it means experiencing the things that bring fullness to our lives, with the people, who bring us the most happiness!

It's a beautiful day, and the world is waiting...see you out there!
