Editorial Tara Giles If not now, when?

The tragic news of more mass shootings over the past weekend left us in a reflective mood, pondering what an amazingly short gift the life is that we have all been given. Many times, we question whether we are living the life we truly want to be living, and wonder if we might not be settling when we should be striving for something more. A friend of the Democrat recently pulled up stakes locally and moved to Florida, fulfilling a dream her family has had for almost a decade. They finally decided to stop wasting time and embrace the life they truly want. In Lincoln this week, we also covered a story about a young couple who 'followed the breadcrumbs' to their dream. They looked for signs and cues as to what move to make next and eventually ended up right where they wanted to be. We can think to ourselves ‘easier said than done,’ but the fact remains that people with less can often do more than they think as we have seen time and time again. Hats off to those of you who refuse to settle in your lives and who set their 'what if's' and fears down and forged ahead. There are quite a few ways to change your life if it's something you want to do.
