The paradox of our time is that we have taller buildings, but shorter  times, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We have bigger houses, but smaller families, more knowledge but less judgement.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, drive too fast, get too angry,

stay up too late, get too tired, watch TV too much, but. . . forget to:

• give time to love
• give time to speak
• give time to share your precious thoughts 
• cherish the moment
• say a kind word to one who looks up to you
• spend time with the loved ones. They aren’t going to be around forever.

Don’t forget!
