I’m sure you are all aware of the "Make a Wish Program" for critically ill children where each child is granted a last wish. Recently, I become involved in a similar program that is offered by our local Hospice called "Heart’s Desire". Each patient in this program is offered a chance to have their last wish or better stated their heart’s desire fulfilled. These desires can range from a simple family photo, to a trip they have always wanted to take.

My awareness and participation in these programs has me thinking about how often we put something off for "someday". What happens if someday never gets here? What happens if we never have the chance to fulfill all our dreams and wishes? None of knows how long we have on this earth, so maybe it is time to start fulfilling some of our wishes and desires while we have the time and energy to do so.

Take the action challenge and identify some things you would like to be, do or have if you only had a short time to live. What is Your Heart’s Desire?

What have I been putting off for "someday"?
