Appreciate Them Now

Who are the people that make you laugh, smile, who inspire you or make you feel appreciated?

In which places do you enjoy spending time - restaurants, clubs, parks, shops, theaters?

What readily accessible activities do you enjoy, either by yourself or with your family and friends?

Times change. 

One day, some of those things will be gone. Colleagues will have moved on. Friends will move away. Favorite hang-outs will close.

One day, we'll look back and reminisce about that club where we used to enjoy live music, or some restaurant with amazing desserts, or the place where the kids used to enjoy spending an entire afternoon. 

We'll reminisce about people who brought joy and adventure and meaning into our lives, like some colleague who made us laugh almost every day and whom we've thought about warmly ever since.

Before they disappear, before the inevitable march of time rearranges they daily details of our lives forever, think about the people and places and opportunities that you appreciate and enjoy. 

Who or what do you appreciate right now? Make a plan to get out and enjoy some quality time with them again soon. Because one of those times will be the last time.

Appreciate them now.
