of time, but they have no scales to weigh, no figures to
compute, no words to describe its value.”
: o ) John Thornton
Time, it waits for no one and truly we each have the same amount credited to our account each day. All of us use it differently than the other. Some use their time for themselves and others give it away freely for others. We can sleep it away, dance it away, think it away but it will go away each passing moment time slips by all of us.
For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left
after eight of sleep and eight of work.
: o ) Doug Larson
It disappears and does not repeat until we are credited with another day of time. 86,400 seconds each day in fact. Credited to your account for your use.
How will you use it this year, this month, this week, this day?
We are at almost at the half way point of January 2012.
What has happened with your NEW YEARS NEEDS?
What steps have you made to get closer to their achievement.
This year is like all the other years you have lived but truly will you make it better?
A new affirmation for the week. The third week of the new year starts today.
This weeks new affirmation :
I create joy and happiness in the time that I am given. Time is shared with those I care about and I freely give my gratitude to the choices I make. Choices to laugh, love, think, share and create that which will empower my self and others. I create joy and happiness and I empowered by those creations. Love follows me daily and I cherish its attention to my daily actions.
71 words that I hope starts to change your spirit from within. The spirit that says, yes we can and we should make a difference.
Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
