Never too late!

So, it's been eons since I posted on this blog.  There was always something else to be done. And since it didn't appear that any readers were having paroxysms of withdrawal symptoms because of the paucity of posts, there was no external pressure to do so.  I had started the blog mostly to get myself to write something which was not 'business-y' on a regular basis, which unfortunately is not a strong enough motivator for me to make the time. So when weeks became months and I still hadn't posted, I got to thinking that maybe it was too late to post and I should give up.

But, I do have another motivator - I don't give up, not easily.  If I were a canine, I'd be a bulldog (or is it a terrier?), sticking with stuff, growling and yapping long after a sensible creature, like a cat, would have walked away.  Anyway, what's the worst thing that can happen if I posted after a long hiatus?  Nothing more than spambots getting happy.

Plus, there was the bonus of having a ready-to-go topic to write about in my not-too-late post: it is never too late for most things in life. (Let's not get literal about this with a "it is too late to catch the train if it's already gone!" type of argument, though.)

Here's my random, very incomplete, list of things that get pushed way, way out to the background until it seems their time has passed, but they clearly belong in the  'never too late' category.

1. It's never too late to get in touch with an old friend
2. It's never too late to tell someone how you feel about them if it's good (if not, file it under 'things better left unsaid' - after all, you've managed to not say it for so long)
3. It's never too late build on relationships you care about
4. It's never too late to start a fitness program, or just start moving (if you want to keep it simple)
5. Expanding it a bit, it's never too late to start paying attention to your health and what you eat
6. It's never too late to start learning a new language 
7. Actually, it's never too late to start learning anything, as long as you have the basic capacity to do so (it might help if you first learn swimming before you try surfing)
8. It's never too late to end a bad habit (still smoking?) or build a good one (call your mom every week!)
9. It's never too late to start saving, even if you're a boomer who partied like there's no retirement
10. It's never too late to read the book you've wanted to for years (Shakespeare waiteth for thee)
11. It's never too late to start a new activity/hobby - like blogging :)
12. It's never, ever too late to be compassionate
