Really Good Post!!!! And you are exactly right. It is so easy to get wrapped in the rat race of life. Work, Money, Bills, Hobbies!! We soon lose track of whats really important... I read something years ago.... A college professor pulled out a large mason jar one day in front of his class, pull out a box of rather large rocks( 1 1/2 inch diameter for your visual) and poured the rocks in the jar to the top and asked the class was the jar full? The class agreed that it was. He then pulls another box out with medium size rocks and starts to pour them on top and working the jar around the middle size rocks feel in between the big rocks filling up the gaps. He then asked the class was the jar full. And again they agreed it was. He pulls out a box of sand and repeats the same thing, pouring in the sand to fill up all the small cracks between the big and medium size rocks. He looks at the class and says the Big rocks should represent all the really important things in life such as your religion (if apropriate), you Family, your Health. The medium size rocks should represent the other important things, things that you need in life but could live without if you absolutely had to, you job, your money, your house. And the sand should represent everything else in your life, you car, your clothes, your hobbies. IF You Fill Up your jar with The Sand First There Will be No Room For Your Big Rocks and we Need to Always Have that In mind!!! One student walks down to the professor, pops a beer top, pours it in and beer soaks into the sand, and says yup but there is always room for Beer lol.... Seriously we do need to keep this in mind. We all lose sight at times, its natural. Take the time to hug your kids a little more, kiss your wife, or girlfriend, or husband, or boyfriend a little more!! Life is way too short. Smile a little more, Show patients a little more, be just a little more giving, and it shall be returned to you!!! Good Luck to everyone and sorry for piggy backing your post wis bow huntr, i couldn't help it
