and the Wake Up nudge . . .

 2023 started with bumps . . . slap upside the head . . . and the wake up nudge (that's what I call it).  Nudges are very good.  Make you stop and think.  Makes you angry too.  When I worked for a food distributer back in Minneapolis decades ago I learned about shelf dates, pull dates etc.  I coined the phrase in my life that I had a shelf date - well we all do I just put my own twist to it.  Yes we all have shelf life.  Sometimes it's defined by what our health is or isn't.  The shelf life!  We don't give it much thought when we are very young.  We don't give it any thought when we are becoming adults.  And,  then life happens!  marriage or relationships, child birth, health events, crisis of life, loss of people we know - family.  

AND, then we find we have a "pull date".  The older we get we realize that "pull date" is closer then we thought.  And, there are little things to remind us . . . like a TIA - a wake up call!  A nudge . . .a nudge to remind us that time is limited.  Time to finish projects.  Write more.  See more.  Love more.  Forgive more.  Be more open.  Share.  Be more creative.  Share knowledge.  

NEVER put off what you do this day . . . tomorrow is never promised . . .

and my all time favorite statement by "anonymous" 

I am NOT afraid of tomorrow
