Watch For the Holes In Life...

...they may swallow you up.  When I am taking a trip I want to be sure to take the time to actually enjoy the process of getting from point A to point B.  I see people all the time talking away on their cell phones (I have done this) that they miss the beauty that is flying by.  They are so engrossed in their thought process that they can't see the life moving around them.

As a society we are plugged into time management and the electronics to help us with that management.  It's like life as it exsists around us is not as important  as getting through it...

I read an article where a man lost his apartment and moved into a tent, where over a 2 month period he starved to death with pnuemonia. True, he could have asked for help.  But all his "friends" said they hadn't seen him in 2 months.  His tent was discovered by some college students who were walking to a lake from the house they rented.  Now...this tent was in view of a busy highway....are we moving so fast we don't see the life around us? 

Here are some questions to ask...

Are we moving so fast we don't have time to really hear what our children say to us?

Are we moving so fast that we don't really learn what we are studying in school?

Are we moving so fast that a friends tragedy goes unnoticed?

Are we moving so fast that our cell phone or blackberry are how we relate to others?

Are we moving so fast that we don't taste what we eat?

Are we moving so fast that those we love the most and who love us, get the last little piece of left overs from our hearts at the end of the day...or did you save the best part for them?
