Love & life

Making contact with longtime friends, some after more years than I would like to admit, makes me realize how swiftly time goes. I would love to share this with my younger friends. Wake up. Before you know it, you look at life from the other direction.

People tend to get caught up in the everydayness of life. The big picture blurs because the detailed view overwhelms. Technology allows us to be busier than ever, which is a double-edged sword.

We forget happiness does not have a pricetag. We worker harder to make more to spend more. We sell our peace of mind to do so. When you start to count quality time, you slip into a wonderful lie you hope to fool yourself with.

The little moments make the biggest impressions on our minds. To have those little moments, you need to get off the moving sidewalk you are on. Devote a half-day a week to spend with your family or friends. Lie around and talk. No TV, no music, no distractions of phones.

You will gain so much at the cost of nothing but a small amount of time.

Dude, my time with you was priceless.

Later.
