Every Passing Day

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around." ~~From the movie "Vanilla Sky"

Sometimes we just need to be reminded!

$20.00


Sometimes we just need to be reminded!



A well-known speaker started off his seminar by




holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,




"Who would like this $20 bill?"




Hands started going up.




He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you




but first, let me do this.




He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.




He then asked, "Who still wants it?"




Still the hands were up in the air.




Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"




And he dropped it on the ground




and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.




He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.




"Now, who still wants it?"




Still the hands went into the air.




My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.




No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it




because it did not decrease in value.




It was still worth $20.




Many times in our lives,




we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt




by the decisions we make and




the circumstances that come our way.




We feel as though we are worthless.




But no matter what has happened or




what will happen, you will never lose your value.




Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,




you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.




The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,




but by WHO WE ARE.




You are special- Don't EVER forget it."

Where were you when.....

Susan Summerville

I will never forget where I was on 9/11. I was driving to the bookstore I owned when the radio announced an airplane had hit the tower (the first one) and how the rest of the events of that day consumed me along with an entire nation. I remember cryi...ng. I remember feeling like everything was surreal. I remember watching the day unfold on the television in terror. I will never forget where I was on 9/11.

Where were you when you found out. Post and tell us.
