How do you want to spend your time?

I have been blogging about New Year's resolutions and wanted to know how everyone is doing with these resolutions.  You know; further your career, lose weight, do more volunteering and all those other resolutions that by February our resolve runs out of gas, we stall and then stop thinking about it.

Maybe looking at the heart of it will help the list linger a little longer. The real point is to ask ourselves: "How do you want to spend your time"?  Time makes no promises to any of us.

Helen Keller reminds us of that when she describes life prior to the illness that took away her vision and hearing.  " One brief spring, musical with the song of robin and mockingbird, one summer rich in fruit and roses, one autumn of gold and crimson sped by and left their gifts at the feet of an eager, delighted child," she said.  "Then, in February, came the illness that closed my eyes and ears."

How would you spend your time if you knew 2017 would be your last time you would enjoy our beloved four seasons or even hear a bird sing as carefree as you now know?

When you read these words by Helen Keller, it touches your heart and you want to weep for that little girl that sight and sound were taken away.  How selfish we have become in our society includes me also that we take things for granted and that we are going to live forever!  Ask yourself,  How do you want to spend your time?
