IT'S TIME! AGAIN!!

(Previously posted - 4/08)


Do you have enough time to fit it all in? Are you late? Did you get enough sleep? You didn't have time for lunch!


When did we become so hyper-active or over-active? When did we begin to feel the need to cram something into every minute of our life. Sure, we all have the financial pressures, and the time constraints. But what precedence are we setting for our children...instant gratification?


As we rush through life at drive-thru windows at the fast food place, the dry cleaners, the bank...have we forgotten how to get out of the car! Even our need to exercise has become one more 'must' to squeeze into the already overloaded schedule. Our body may be present but our mind is already on the next 'have to do', and the next one....


The climb up the hill is slow and difficult, but once you go over the crest momentum takes over, and the way down is easier but much faster.

Are you on the way up? While you have the time and opportunity, drink in every moment no matter how difficult the way.

Are you on the way down? While you still have time and opportunity, drink in every moment because they are too soon gone!
If each one of us would 'be here now', perhaps the whirlwind would slow down enough to take a breath, feel the sunshine, hear the birds, smell the flowers, and get out of the car!


Now, that's instant gratification at it's finest!
Let's leave that as a legacy for the future generations!
