“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.” –Hugh Laurie

I love this quote. It reminds me of how many times I’ve waited to do something, and I should have just “jumped in” and done what I was supposed to do. Of course, being a blog about hospitality, I’ll share a simple story that happened a few weeks ago. I was out walking with a friend and we ran into another friend, who was having surgery. We chatted, and I promised I’d bring her a meal. Do you ever do that? Promise to do something, but then you either forget, or you just … procrastinate. Finally, two weeks later, I contacted her to bring her a meal. I wanted to keep my word!

Bringing a meal to others.

Each day didn’t feel like a “good day” to put my energy into it, so I kept putting it off. But on this day I sent a quick text, said I’d be there at 6 pm, and I did it.

What did I bring? Easy — rotisserie chicken, green salad in a bag (with fresh garden tomatoes), my peach and avocado salad, fresh bread, and of course, a chocolate candy bar. (more…)
