I do feel very fortunate for the life I have been blessed with. I have been given a many great opportunities to see some absolutely amazing places. I like to think that when life has given me a chance I have taken it more often than I have passed it by. Tonight I am in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and i think about the trade offs. My life certainly isn't everything I had hoped it would be by this time in my life. I like to think I have made the most of the life I have. And even now after watching an amazing sunset over the Aegean Sea, enjoying a glass of wine, listening to jazz in one of the best B&B's I have ever stayed in ... I think about how I would love to be sharing this experience with someone else. Every place I go I think of my friends and family and how each of them would enjoy pieces of this place for different reasons. Why are people so afraid of taking chances I wonder? Every time I have offered to share experiences all I get in return is "no money right now" or "just don't have the time right now". There is never the perfect time to run off I suppose. I'm definitely not under the perfect financial circumstance right now and probably spent far more on this holiday then I can afford but WHO CARES? What if I never got this chance again? And never got to experience this amazing place?
When I'm old, looking back on my life, I will not remember that I spent too much money going to Greece. I will remember the amazing blue water, the remarkable villages, friendly people and the AMAZING sunset that I am seeing right now ...
Life is short, never miss a chance to linger in a moment because right now is the perfect time
