“Weather forecast for tonight: Dark; continued dark overnight; with widely scattered light by morning.” ~ George Carlin

Screw all the forecasts & all the prognostications & all the predictions … Screw all the prognoses & all the polls & all the indicators & all the prophecies … The only thing that’s for sure in your still vibrant life is that you’ve got this one moment of this one day to DO SOMETHING worthwhile — to extend a Caring hand; to offer a Kind smile; to bravely protest an injustice; to courageously liberate the oppressed; to forgive & accept an enemy; to hug & thank a Friend.

The clock’s ticking, my Friends, and this very day could very well be your last chance to do something that will have you smiling peacefully while drawing your final breath — whenever that breath might come.

So I say treat this day (and every day hereafter) as though it were your last. After all, if you do so, one day — one day relatively soon — you’re going to be right.

So what’s truly IMPORTANT to you? What “wrong” do you wish your government would make Right? What injustice would you like to see erased? What slaves would you like to see set free? What social crisis would you like to see resolved? What person in your life could use some Joy? What Good Deed can you do for the next stranger you encounter? What anonymous Act of Kindness can you give to your community?

Time’s ticking away, folks, so let’s go get to it …
Let’s go BE the change we want to See!

“It’s a terrible thing to wait until you are ready … There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. So you may as well do it now.” ~ Hugh Laurie
