Expiration Dates

We all have them. Those items in the refrigerator that should have been thrown out long ago. You know the ones. They are in less than prime condition because they have gone past their expiration date. Sometimes they make their presence known because they start to smell or grow that interesting green stuff. Sometimes we find them in the back of the shelf and are amazed at how long they have been there. And sometimes the date says they’re bad but they still look and smell just fine. I have trouble throwing those out. Expiration dates. They help keep the refrigerator in order. But not everything has one.

I heard a saying long ago. “There is no expiration date on a dream”. And as I move into the later years of my life I’m realizing just how true that is. I may be in less than prime condition as compared to my 21 year old self. But my dreams are still valid. Some of them have been on the back shelf but to my surprise this may be exactly the time to move them to the front. They still look good to me and so far no one has told me that they smell! I’ve searched my mind to see if they should be discarded for more “mature” things, if I should just forget about that someday wish list or those things that I knew I always wanted to do but never had time for. I keep looking to see if they have an expiration date. But I can’t find it.

So I guess I’ll just keep going. And I advise everyone else to do the same. But you might want to check out your refrigerator anyway.
