I heard this song while driving today, and thought “what a great theme song!”  I was checking things off my to-do list…things I had been putting off, or dreading, or maybe the place I wanted to go was just too far away to justify going right now.

So, I went to the DMV and renewed my driver’s license with my copy of The Secret in tow for the interminable wait.  I walked in, didn’t even take a number and walked right up to the desk.  I was in and out, new driver’s license in hand, in less than 20 minutes.  And my new photo isn’t too bad either.  

I also finally visited the FL Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, which was a LONG 12 mile drive, at most.  (Why did I think it was “so far away?”)  I had a beautiful afternoon!  I have lots of photos and videos to share and I even dropped off some Dawn detergent, newspapers and Snoop’s old litter box.  Snoop’s legacy lives on and helps another animal in need!

Here are the lyrics to Van Halen’s “Right Now”  (According to Lyrics.com)  Read them and think about it.  Whatever you are waiting for, why wait?

Don’t wanna wait ’til tomorrow,
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems,
Built up, and stand in our way.
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don’t dream about yesterday
C’mon turn, turn this thing around
Right now,
It’s your tomorrow
Right now,
C’mon, it’s everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything.
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm,
And nothing falls into place
Only missed by a fraction,
Slipped a little off your pace
The more things you get, the more you want,
Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier
Got to turn, c’mon turn this thing around.
