Th' old T.V. show, "This is Your Life," brought t' light; th' many facets o' important events, which went t' make up th' lives o' many people. This granny likes t' apply th' phrase in slightly altered version. "Now, is Your Life." The message t' me readers, is t' stimulate th' thought an' realization, that life is short, at best, e'en if one lives t' be an hundred. Some folks live as though life was a goin' on forever, an' will progress in a more 'r less, acceptable pattern, seemin'ly a takin' f'r granted th' greatness o' th' gift, wi' which they 're blessed, LIFE. This is IT, no matter who ye are, rich 'r poor, white 'r black, 'r any other race. As ye progress toward th' ripe years, ye'll wish ye'd appreciated th' real things in life, more'n ye did, lest ye take heed, an' learn t' value life. Most folks don't get th' most out o' life. It does me heart good t' see some parents, helpirt' t' guide their young toward goals, which '11 bring happy satisfaction, in adult maturity. For everyone, there's a different valuation o' what's important t' their particular happiness, but mark me words, th' busiest lives 're th' happiest ones. Now, there's a great difference, in livin' life, a doin' jist what ye like t' do, f'r yourself, alone. Th' trick is t' learn t' like t' do f'r others, too, reapin' pleasure f'r th' effort. Folks ain't always born wi' th' ambition t' adapt 'emselves t' society in philanthropic endeavor. Parents should teach little tykes t' find happiness in makin' th' effort t' help each other, in th' home, thereby devclopin' adults wi' concern f'r each other. There ain't anythin', t' me own way o' thinkin', more important t' th' way a life is lived, than t' be a part o' the' human effort t' satiate th' need f'r one another. Seems t' me, th' more involved is th' individual, wi' th' problems o' fellowmen, th' fuller is life, an' th' greater is happiness. Many a parent may be saddened, when th" years 're here, an' th' offspirng 're grown, t' find that communication is not there, b'cause it was neglected in th' early years. Life is NOW. Ye can't wait f'r tomorrow t' take up th' cause an' act on it. Tomorrow's too late, an' that's th' reason f'r so much disappointment in life, a outtin' off what's important t' TODAY. Tomorrow : may be too far removed from th' need o' what's required f'r this day.
