I've heard someone say "if we had more time, we would waste it." This quote grew me and it took me a year to agree with it. We also say "geez, I wish I had more time" but what do we actually do when we have the extra time? Nothing. You know I'm not lying about that. We have ALL the time in the world, it's just a matter of alotting the time given, effectively and efficiently. It's up to us to make the time for ourselves, for our family, for work, etc. I think you know what I'm talkin' about.
On October 7, 2011 @ 4:55 am, my family lost a loved one, my Tita Azon. I still can't believe she's gone--just 2 months ago, we celebrated her 75th birthday! WTF?! Time flew too fast. Anyway, Tessie emailed us a week ago to let us know that her mom was in the hospital. Without getting into too much detail, my aunt's health rapidly declined. Now, I can't find the words to comfort Tessie and Vernon, all I know is WE ALL ENJOYED AND CHERISH THE MEMORIES WE HAVE WITH TITA AZON WHILE SHE WAS HERE ON EARTH. Time is/was of the essence. I also believe that it isn't how much time is spent, but how you spend that time with the one you love. So please take your time, use it wisely, be with the ones you love & spend it drama-free (ok, so the latter is easier said than done). But before you start an argument with someone or stop talking to someone altogether, do me a favor and ask yourself these 2 questions: "is it really worth it--choosing pride over love?" AND "what if we don't have tomorrow--do I really want to argue w/this person?" If the answer is "NO," THEN YOU'RE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO ENLIGHTENMENT :o) We just never know what will happen tomorrow.
Till next week--I bid you love, light & blessings. Love & hug your loved ones every moment you can.
