ch day we struggle to keep up with our daily livesWe each have jobs and family
And responsibilities we must stay on top of
People depend on us
There are ‘things that need to be done’
But WAIT
Stop, take a breath
And just hold on one second
In the amount of time it took you to read this
You could: Send an e-mail to a friend you haven’t had time to catch up with
Make a phone call to say I love you or I hope you have a wonderful day
Hug that precious baby
Say a prayer of thanks for all you have
Or give yourself a pat on the back
In appreciation for all you do
Maybe we don’t always remember to take a minute
For the ‘Little Things’
But you know what?
The lawn will always continue to grow
Long after we are there to mow it
There will always be bills to pay,
Mouths to feed,
Laundry, windows and cars to wash
Those that care about us won’t sit around
The ‘ol’ camp fire’ and reminisce about the
Ability to multi-task better than the rest
Or task – master greatness
Hopefully they will remember us by the time we spent
Listening
Laughing
Loving
I wanted to take this moment to let YOU know
How much you mean to me
Although I don’t always take the time
To tell you I think of you every day
So take that extra moment right now and pass this on to
Every one that is important in your life !
Good Morning !
I found the above message on a card site and thought I needed to pass this on to all of you today ! The moments go by so fast that I know I forget about the truly important things in my life. It’s not about getting the work done, it’s about sharing and caring. Of course we all have responsibilities of family and jobs, but when that interferes with the time we should be spending with others, then there is a problem.
My caring and sharing time is mostly spent by doing my daily e-mail and posting in my journals. I don’t know if that counts, but I feel that I’m reaching out to most of my family and friends each day . Just a few years ago, I wouldn’t have even done that much.
My trusty computer (a gift from my children) has opened up a whole new way to reach out every day!
It’s Monday, a new week, and a new month. A new chapter in my book! I’m eagerly waiting to see what this new chapter will bring. ***BIG SMILE***
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A Smile is Worth A Thousand Words
M
ay your day be blessed with a few smiles and lots of sunshine to warm your heart !I love you all !

OH i definitly think journals and emails count becuase there have been somedays that if it were family only to lift me up then I would be done for becuase there are days they are so busy and now that htye are older they are gone alot and all that I cuold not make it without another woman or my online friends to lift me up.
Wonderful verse, thank you for sharing. Yes, how the computer has changed our lives and only for the better. I love reaching out to my friends on here and sharing in their lives and allowing them to share in mine.

You have wonderful children. You can't help but notice how loving they are just reading your journal. Yes, we should spread the love around. It's the most important thing we can do. : )

I loved the message from the card site. Your such a sweet person and I hope May is a good month.
You certainly "reach out" to me and I am so happy about that. It's been a hard year. And you have had a death in the family too but you keep on pluggin'. I consider you one of life's BIG BLESSINGS.
Wishing you an "onya".
LOL.
