SUNRISE - February 17, 2011

“The infinite is in the finite of every instant.”  - Zen Saying

 

   "Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." - H. Jackson Brown
  Note to ponder:  Hearing can be apparently over-corrected like vision.  I had my hearing aids "toned down' today - more bass, less treble.  Every little movement of paper shuffling, silverware clinking, ripping off a sheet of paper towel, etc. was magnified.  At first it was merely interesting, like a magic show...but too much is just that - too much.  
My son and personal IT staff, Dustin has been saving me loads of frustrated TIME.  All the little, seemingly simple, IT tasks that I could probably have figured out "eventually" (if I didn't smash them first) were piling up because I was reluctant to invest the TIME to get them resolved, are now nearing completion.  Devices I was set to throw in the trash, because -since I couldn't get them to work- they must be broken - are magically working just fine now.

Time Poem

To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.


To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.


To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.


To realize the value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.


To realize the value of one minute:
Ask the person who has missed the train, bus or plane.


To realize the value of one-second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.


To realize the value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics


Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. - unknown
