A wise old man once said to me, ‘Son don’t waste any of
your days. Use them wisely”
My,how time passes us by…Yesterday I was just a kid playing and
having fun, swimming in the local creek or walking in the woods just
loving nature and all it’s beauty. I could wonder around for hours
just enjoying what nature had to offer. I know now that I was truly
blessed.
After those wondrful years I became obsessed with making money
and getting material things.I also replace the good life with alcohol.
I could care less about anyone…just myself and my booze. I got into
the fast lane. Fortunately, I was introduced toAA at the age of 26.I
had big time denial so it took me until age34 to get back in the slow
lane again.
Now at the age of 70 I am old enough to feel old but young enough to feel
young at heart.
Life has been extremely good to me. I am now truly grateful to have
lived one half of my years on a 24 hour plan. No I did not become rich
in material things nor did I become the govenor.
When I awaken each morning I remember what the old man said.
Son don’t waste those days….I remember to smile, I enjoy a cup
of coffee and when I go out and meet the people of the world I remember
to be kind,gentle ,understanding and helpful as I can.Oh, I almost missed
patient and courteous. And that my friend is how I waste my days.
After all that when the day is over and I am a bit weary. I get a good
night sleep so I will be ready for the next day.
I forgot to mention that… Life just would not be any fun at all,
if we did not have problems.
A big smile and Lot of Love to you… Enjoy as many 24 hours as
you can. Until Next Time……John
