LIFE (10)

life is a bowl of cheries champange and laughter all the way or is it what is it all about alfie

propagation/advancement of the species and maintenence of the planet, all the rest is a .... melting moment?

we r but as a grain of sand in the larger plan of the universe so enjoy the time on the beach

a mere sigh
or perhaps a tear dropped from an eye
a quick glance at the sky
a spit in the ocean of time
anymore?

it is a frank confession!

Life is but a play, and man but an actor who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then his heard of no more.

Oh! Yes! A lot more!

a mere thought
or perhaps the glimpse of a smile
a loving hug under thunderous skies
a gentle melody brought to you by the breeze
a glimmer of hope...

a mere touch
or perhaps wanting to stay a while
a gaze of love from twinkling eyes
a wave of emotion across a thousand seas
a fountain of hope...

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the beer. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then
asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your faith, your friends, your favourite passions--things that if everything else were lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else--the small stuff." If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical
checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

that is a good one...we really often focus to much on the sand, and too little on the beers
