I found this quote this morning and I thought to myself, “Wow”. It sounds very similar to a quote from the late President Kimbell. "Let us get our instruments tightly strung and our melodies sweetly sung. Let us not die with our music still in us."
It’s all about living life to it’s fullest and taking risks and becoming everything we were sent here to become. There’s no point in having a guitar if you never learn to play it and what’s the point in having a life that’s only ever half lived?
Is there some skill that you have always wanted to develop, but up until now have been putting off? Have you always wanted to take singing lessons, or to learn how to play the piano, wanted to do Judo, learn to swim, take flying lessons, bake a cake . . .
Maybe it's something simple such as learning to sew or embroider. Most local colleges and schools offer courses and night classes in all kinds of things. Often they are not that expensive, and if you are a senior citizen I believe that, over here in England at least, they are free.
A wise man once said you have nothing to fear but fear itself, so why not take the plunge and do some of those things you have been putting off? Why wait for a rainy day? Why not sing the song you have been placed here on earth to sing?
My brother took up flying gliders at the age of 58. It wasn't something he had ever thought about, but his youngest daughter was doing it in cadets. He became interested and before you could say Jack Rabbit, he was taking lessons.
Now, several years later, he owns his own glider in a share partnership with someone else and he glides in the warmer months in his free time as and when he can. He loves it and it makes us all so happy to see him doing something he enjoys so much. You are never too old to expand your horizons and learn something new.
Its raining out there this morning. We can't complain as we have had a week of sunshine and lovely warm temperatures. I cannot believe it is fall already. It is my favourite season of the year and it has snuck up on me this year. You would think with all of the drama of this year nothing would be able to sneak up on me, but hey ho! It did! Time marches on and waits for no man, or so the saying goes!
I best leave you with a thought for the day . . .

*Those who leave
In the English Kitchen today there is another recipe for a roast chicken. This time it is Roast Chicken with a Lemon and Herb Stuffing. It comes with roast potatoes and a delicious gravy! I do so love roast chicken and there is no such thing as too many ways of doing it. I love trying something different.
