Timing*

Just two days ago we started picking cherries off of one of our cherry trees. There were so many that we stopped after picking about 2/3 of the tree, thinking they would stay fresher on the tree and it would give us time to process what we harvested.

This afternoon I looked at the tree to see if there were still cherries to be harvested and there were. Four hours later however, when I got ready to pick the rest of the cherries, the tree was bare of all cherries! Wow!

It made me think of how life presents you with opportunities and it is up to you to seize the moment. Sometimes, if you wait too long, the door closes.  It is a reminder to take chances, to say 'yes' instead of thinking you will get to it later, to act instead of being passive. There is no moment like the present. If it feels right, just do it.  Harvest all the bounty. :)
