The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers,
wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but
enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet
more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast,
get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and
pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to
years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street
to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger
things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our
prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned
to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce
more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep
profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,
fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers,
throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and
nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around
forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little
person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure
you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most
of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of
you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there
again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in
your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that
take our breath away.

:: George Carlin ::

We've come a long long way together,
Through the hard times and the good,
I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should

After awhile you learn . the subtle difference between . holding a hand
and chaining a soul . and you learn that love doesn’t mean possession . and company
doesn’t mean security . And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts . and presents
aren’t promises and you begin to accept . your defeats with your head up and your eyes
ahead . with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child . And you learn to build your
roads today . because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans . and futures have ways
of falling down in mid-flight . After awhile you learn that even sunshine . burns if you
get too much so you plant your . own garden and decorate your own soul . instead of
waiting for someone to bring you flowers . And you learn that you really can endure . that
you really are strong . and you really do have worth .
and you learn . and you learn...
