township Photo by Lorraine News and views One of the saddest points in all of our lives is the realization that something good has been terminated life is sweet life is sad life can hold moments of absolute dullness life has many concerns but life is wonderful and just to be alive is truly a miracle The poignancy of it all however is that at some point nothing will remain but the reflection and unless we are of passing time such memories are too often empty blanks of unfulfilled effort It a strange phenomenon that intelligent human beings who know the meaning of tomorrow and yesterday never examine the todays and utilize them to the best of their abilities Oldsters look back in reflection and younger counterparts look ahead and dream but few of us enjoy what is presently with us in the realization that too soon that particular moment will pass by and never return again Wish to restore Suddenly the Infant Is no longer the child and bedtime stories and toy trainshave been replaced by heavy texts and hot cars you speculate slightly wishing hist a little that you taken more time or could restore some of the childlike periods of yesterday Well we know that to turn hour hands backward is an impossible feat and that even if we could accomplish such an act few of our patterns would be changed and we d probably continue on in our humanistic habit of working to ends making time never taking it off to enjoy the simplest of joys by which we re surrounded What life about When we finally do allow ourselves such periods of leisure we realize that this Is what life is really all about making the taking of tune sharing it with others and giving of ourselves our love and experiences and above all enjoying our children so that their memories of being as children are rich reflections

creatures setting aside the mundane tasks of everyday to reach out to greater things and enjoy the moments at hand Take time today In this way there need never be saddened meditations of unfulfilled
