Words to Live By ...

I thought I would share these truths with my FGAL readers...enjoy!

Today we have higher buildings, but shorter temperaments. Wider highways but narrower points of view.

We spend more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
We have more compromises, but less time.
We have more knowledge, but less judgement.
We have more medicines, but less health.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk much, but love little.
We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors.
We have conquered outer space, but not our inner space.
We have higher income, but less morals.
These are times with more liberty, but less joy. With much more food, but less nutrition.

These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.

That's why I propose that as of today -- 

You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion.
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs.
Spend more time with your family, eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn't simply survival.

Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume use it every time you feel you want it.
Take out from your vocabulary phrases like, "one of these days" and "someday".

Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life. Every day, hour, and minute are special because you never know if it will be your last.
