hi, just recieved this in an email, could be a GN prayer.
Something To Think About!
Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:
Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use.
However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.
The first set of rules would be: Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.You may only spend it. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.
The second set of rules: The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, Its over, the game is over! It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?
ACTUALLY THIS GAME IS REALITY!
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.
The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!
Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.
Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. Think about that, and always think of this:
Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy life!
Here's wishing you a wonderfully beautiful day. Start spending.

Darn Right! We have just had a major lesson! You never know when life is going to shake us up.
Mr D became ill on our camping trip to Wombeyan caves, and is now in Canberra hospital. It was totally unexpected, I am in shock. He has a good chance of recovery, and we'll take one day at a time now... spending those seconds as wisely as we can.
Take care everybody!

I normally only sleep a max of 6 hrs a night, have done that since I started work at 12 years old. I often tell people that spend a lot of time in bed how many more days I will gain over my lifetime
