That's so right...it is never too late. That doesn't imply that we should continue to put off our dreams and hopes - because we never know when the end may come. It does mean that as long as we're still breathing, then we can still go out there and go after what has meaning to us. And today is a great time to start that! Thanks so much for stopping by! @Tabitha Blue - Hi Tabitha. Something about the light and how it's shining in this picture, really pulled me in. Thanks much! @Colleen — Hi Colleen.

As we get older it's nice to know that many of us have as many years left as we have lived. Or even 10% or a third still allows for a lot of "it's never too lates!" “Realize that it’s never too late.”

We never have to worry - wouldn't that be a great place to get to! It's so true, because what does worry really buy us? Nothing. Yet, it's easy to fall prey to it. Seeing the blessing in the moments of our life, what a more positive way to look at it all! Thanks Diane! @Henie - How true! Friends are the roots of our life, holding us firmly planted in who we are. And it's not always about the number of friends, but also about the quality of those friends too... @Diane C. — Hi Diane.

Deep down, we know what matters. It's whether we let that voice inside be heard. I know I too often stifle it, block it out, ignore it. And when I do, I fall victim to not truly and deeply experiencing life. Recognizing this is a great first step toward really getting to that space regularly, where our heart rules... @Laurie - Hi Laurie. It's easy to look at the past and think about what might have been. But really, it is just that - past. What we have is "now"...whether we're 10 years old or 100 years old. And we can decide how we're going to spend our days. Bringing dreams to fruition...that's it Laurie! And thank you. And know that you're also a gift in my world, my friend... Thanks so much for being here. @Jewel - Hi Jewel. Yes, serenity is there for all of us, that peace that can come over us. And know also that there are many many great traits to being a type A personality - don't ever discount the gifts you have... And Jewel, know that I truly appreciate you being here today. @Erin - Hi Erin. Knowing these words will extend beyond this place, this brings much happiness to me. Erin, you are a gift, the love you show to all those you touch in some special way. You are a gift here, and to me. I know what you do, it comes from your heart, and that beautiful... @Jennifer - Hi Jennifer. Hmmm...that word extraordinary...seems like I've heard that recently! Yes, it sure is popping up! Having you here - is a blessing. Jennifer, I know you live the extraordinary in your everyday life. And it's a wonderful thing to see and experience. Keep imparting that in all those you touch. And know that you've been an extraordinary gift in my life...not by one thing you've done, by all you do in such caring ways... @J.D. Meier - Hi J.D. It's so easy to focus on the negatives. And even if we can just put slightly more focus on all the positive, what a shift in balance! @Evita - Hi Evita. So true...it's never too late. And Evita, I love the direction you're taking your life in. You are an inspiration and a gift here to me. Know that you've impacted my life in some wonderful ways, and I consider myself blessed to know you... Thank you, so much, for being here today. @Karl — Hi Karl. Deep down, we know what matters.

So many words of wisdom... it's hard for me to pick my favorite. One that strikes me though is "do ordinary things in an extraordinary way." That word "extraordinary" keeps popping up... I think God is trying to show us how to live our lives. I've got more to think about in regards to this. Thank you for reinforcing it again.

It really speaks to the things I struggle with. I love the line "Your life can be what you want it to be." I have been wrestling with what I want my life to be and how to make it happen. I only wish I had had this struggle 20 years ago when I had more opportunity to make it happen. But I am slowly making changes that will get me there. I don't want to just dream. I want to experience what it is like to make my dreams come to fruition. I never thought about my presence being a present to the world. Thanks for that.

I think we all have days where it doesn't feel like we're a gift to the world. We still are, though. Because we're still uniquely "us". Can we do better, some days, at letting that uniqueness out?

Yes, these words just say so, so much. I love that...lesssons you're learning every day. That speaks to your real desire to grow personally. And that's great! No matter where we're at in life, there's always some we can learn and grow from. Noticing the little things...they're there all the time, and we can too easily start to take them for granted. When we take the time, though, to see this in our everyday...life just continues to get better...
