Carpe diem

Today I dined at a restaurant called Carpe Diem. Not surprisingly, the establishment had a spiel on the wall stating that every day (spelled as one word which got my goat) is a gift and that needs to be cherished. 

Cheesy, yes. But still it struck a cord with me. 

I truly believe that if you want something you should go after it. I am well aware of the side effects of  not acting. I know that sitting idle while waiting for someone is unhealthy and depressing. 

The message on the wall seemed like a wake up call for me. I've spent almost a year waiting for something. Waiting (sometimes patiently other times less so) and I am very nearly done.
