I love the message at the end of this article to really not let the current life we are living pass without embracing some of the opportunities it brings. Quite brings an opportunity for deep reflection. More time with family gives us the chance to reaquant ourselves with each other. Great read!

In the most unplanned and twisted way, this year has particularly helped me focus on ‘doing new things’ and ‘making and giving time to others’. Thanks for this post.

Where you ended this reminded me of that lovely Mary Jean Irion quote, my mother always said the first line... “Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.”

Enchanting use of words and and black &white still photos. Time is our only true asset. The true value if time is probably interlaced with our cognitive understanding capability. What is its value when we loose the cognitive ability?
