If Not Now, Then When?

If not now, then when?  I hear that everywhere.

         I can't be really happy until:
              my kids are raised ....
              I make more money ......
              I lose this excess weight ......
              my house is paid off .....

YADA YADA YADA YADA YADA

So tell me again ... when will you be happy?  Next thing we know we are old and gray without the energy to fullful those dreams that we simply know deep in our hearts will make us truly incredibly happy.

After Les died I realized I had been making lame excuses for not living the life I wanted.  I have made great strides at achieving my dream life but of late have found myself slipping back into that old rut.  Back to making excuses for every little set back.  It is never my fault. 

Fear has taken over again.  I must conquer my fears and once again skip along the path of happiness toward my dreams.  After all:

                I AM STRONG
                I AM WOMAN
                HEAR ME ROAR!

Or something like that.
