enough time vs enough life….LEFT
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Â (Thank you to Scott Koon for this wonderful e-mail.)
Kirk,
Merri attended a funeral yesterday. One of the people that spoke delivered a message that she said really stuck with her. While I only heard it second hand, it struck a chord with me as well.Â
The woman said…
Everyone is always saying I don’t have enough time…
…To spend with the kids,
…To visit my parents,
…To stop and smell the roses.
Would that change if you replaced ‘time’ with ‘life left’? Perhaps then it would be “I don’t have enough life left…
…To stay late at the office,
…To stay angry at a family member,
…To put off getting my degree,
…To wait to say I love you.”
Hmmm… Powerful.
Peace!
Scott K.
