This was the message in Ali's Ezine this morning - Why wait. Since I first opened it this morning I have read it and reread it several times. It has been good for me. I am one of those people who saves things for those "special occasions" in my life…perfume, foods, butternut, scrapbooking stash. My list is endless!
Ali has reminded me that I shouldn't’t wait for that "special occasion", I should use it everyday, whenever I want to. And I am going to. Tonight I am going to cut up that butternut, roast it and enjoy it all to myself, then I am heading upstairs to use some of scrapbooking stash that seems to have been bought for looking at only purposes. Tomorrow I am pulling out that special perfume I have been saving and I am going to be spraying that all over….hmmm.
Something else that I got from her this morning was enjoying the moment right now. Not putting it off or hoping for something better - "Enjoying where you are on the way to where you are going", as Joyce often says. Thank you Ali for reminding me of these special things.
Here is my list of 100 things Life List that I am putting together and then as I work through them I will be crossing them off the list. I really enjoyed the process of putting this list together and although it is not yet complete I will be making a start on some of the items that are already on it.

Thrilled to see you've started your list. Wow - it WOULD be cool to walk along the Great Wall of China.
