Reality Check

These things fly around in email like bird poo. Especially this time of year. However...this one had a couple that hit pretty close to home for me. Plus it's kinda seasonal. I'm sure the list could be added to with very little difficulty, but I haven't the time today. So, here you go...

To realize
The value of a sister:
Ask someone who doesn't have one

To realize

Ask a newly divorced couple.

Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realize

Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:

Time waits for no one.

Treasure every moment you have.
