This was forwarded to me on one of the local chapter listservs I
subscribe to. I think it has a very important message, so I thought I
would send it on here...
Enjoy!

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with
$86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening
deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
What would
you do? Draw out every cent, of course!!!!
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning,it
credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries
over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new
account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you
fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going
back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in
the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the
utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make
the most of
today.
* To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
* To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a
premature baby.
* To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly
newspaper.
* To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to
meet.
* To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
* To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an
accident.
* To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a
silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you
shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.
And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history,...
Tomorrow is mystery,...
Today is a gift,...
That's why it's called the PRESENT!!
It's National Friendship Week. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear,
they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart
to us. Show your friends how much you care..... Send this to everyone
you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you
have a circle of friends.
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK!!!!!!!!!
