Enjoy TODAY Everyday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Yes, I have been blessed to see another one. For those of you who don't know, I'm now 42. Just a babe in terms of living out my dream. I just gettin' started. As my present to you, I want to share something with you I discovered surfing the 'Net that is appropriate for this occasion. It is about the subject of time - a concept that neither you or I have any control. We can't create it. We can't add to it. We all have the same amount alloted to us every day; and it does not discriminate. Take a few moments to absorb what follows:

Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is ticking. Make the most of today.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, Ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, Ask a mother of a pre-mature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, Ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE DAY, Ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, Ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, Ask the person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND, Ask the person who won a silver Olympic medal.

Treasure every moment you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special....special enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, which is why it's called the present!! Enjoy your present every day !
