Ya know...We can get caught up on the living of our lives.. the day to day struggle to meet all the needs of those around us.. the paying of the bills.. the cleaning of the house.. the shopping.. we can get so caught up on the business that has become our day to day existence.. we can be so engulfed in the trap this is what our lives have become... that we truly miss the beauty that surrounds us.......One of the greatest sadness in live can be that when we grow old and begin to look back on on our lives.. that we see that all the while we were surrounded with the sounds of little children eager for our attention... the soft sound of snowflakes falling on our faces... the pitter-patter of rain drops falling on a can outside our window... or the subtle hints from loved ones who so many times tried to get us to spend time with them.. all missed as we were busy living out our lives.. not wanting to be bothered by all these seemingly DISTRACTIONS.... and only now, when it is too late.. all the children have grown up.. we have been put into an old folks home and now as we stare out the window and survey the concrete of the city we now live in.. only now do we realize all the precious gifts we were offered.. but never accepted. 

Will YOU wait until it is too late? Will you let the eagerness to make money, or what ever it is that prevents you from receiving the gifts that surround you stop YOU from enjoying the things that Truly Matter in life? Just my question for you today.. If you are reading this.. stop and think.. is what you busy yourself with each day more important that thing which surround you? One thing for sure.. If you have little children, SPEND QUALITY TIME ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR WITH THEM EACH DAY... They will grow up and it will be too late. Eat breakfast, lunch, dinner with them at the table.. with the television and stereo turned off.. if you can.. but make it a GOAL for your life that EVERY DAY you spend quality time with those whom you and and whom love YOU....What do you work for? Enough said... Just, do wait until it is too late.. .make that change now!-alaskalive
