Keeping Things in Perspective

maninblack · 05-19-2013, 09:28 PM

There are times in life when you have to pump the brakes, pull off the side of the road, and remember what's truly important in life. This has been one of those weeks. After seeing my loved ones go through some hard times and seeing how strong they are becoming as new parents and young adults , I had one of those moments today while watching my boys playing outside. We often take for granted the little things, the tender moments that make life worth living. It hit me how I'd forgotten those things. So don't forget to take time to remember those things and to appreciate life for how great it can be.

It is true that one needs to stop and smell the roses!

Amen, Kevin. What IS truly important?

My grandpa used to say, "don't major in minors."

Family, friends, life and love. That's my priorities.
