xmas cracker wish

Lately:

-I have been busy packing my things here in Montreal as I am moving to Toronto this coming January to live with David.
-Also I am spending Christmas with his family in Ottawa,
-so I will be away from the Pblog until the new year!


For the time being, I want you to think on this e-mail I got from my cousin Kim in Edmonton:

Enjoy!



Here is something interesting to read if you have the
time....


The paradox of our time in history is that we have
taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower
viewpoints. We spend
more, but
have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger
houses and
smaller
families, more conveniences, but less time. We have
more degrees but
less
sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more
experts, yet
more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
recklessly, laugh too
little,
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get
up too tired, read
too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We
have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much,
love too seldom,
and
hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years
to life
not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon
and back, but 
have
trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We
conquered outer
space
but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not
better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've
conquered the
atom, but
not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We
plan more, but
accomplish
less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build
more computers
to hold
more information, to produce more copies than ever,
but  we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days
of  two
incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken
homes. These are
days of
quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality,
one night stands,
overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet,
to kill.
It is time when there is much in the showroom window
and nothing in the
stockroom. A time when technology can bring this
letterto you, and a
time when
you can choose either to share this insight, or to
just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,
because they are not
going to
be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe,
because that
little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because that is
the only
treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't
cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and
your loved ones, but
most
of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt
when it comes from
deep
inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person
will not
be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time
to share the
precious
thoughts in your mind.


AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
 
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by the moments that take our breath away!
