Very true Phil. I don't complain about getting old, instead I usually blame Uncle Al for the silly things I do or forget. It's all his fault anyway.
What will I do today. Family stuff, taking daughter to hospital for tests and picking kids up etc. Any time to myself started by getting blood tests taken first thing this morning. There will not be much more 'my' time left for today. Tomorrow will see me heading off on a day trip so that will use up most of tomorrows allotted time, providing it is not "disolved without warning" in the mean time.

Good one Phil....a few more of life's 'trueisms'......
Advice is what we ask for, when we already know the answer,...and wish we didn't.....
I trust everybody....but insist on shuffling the cards....
If at first you don't succeed,.....destroy all evidence that you tried....and never ever suffer in silence...
Always knock firmly, but softly.......the World needs soft, firm knockers......lol...
THE MAGIC
BANK ACCOUNT
THE AUTHOR IS
NOT KNOWN. IT WAS FOUND IN
THE BILLFOLD OF COACH PAUL
BEAR BRYANT, ALABAMA,
AFTER HE DIED IN 1982
The Magic Bank
Account
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:
The set of rules:
1. Everything that you didn't
spend during each day would
be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer
money into some other account.
3. You may only spend
it.
4. Each morning upon awakening,
the bank opens your account with
another $86,400 for that day.
5. The bank can end the game
without warning; at any time it
can say,Game 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 the people you
love and care for. Even for people you don't
know, because you couldn't
possibly spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every
penny, and use it all, because you knew
it would be replenished in the morning, right?
ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL
...
Shocked ???
YES!
Each of us is already a winner
of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it.
The PRIZE is
*TIME*
1. Each morning we awaken to
receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of
life.
2. And when we go to sleep at
night, any remaining time is Not
credited to us.
3. What we haven't used up that
day is forever lost.
4. Yesterday is forever
gone.
5. 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 it and remember to
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 wonderful
and beautiful day. Start spending....
"DONT COMPLAIN
ABOUT GROWING OLD!"
SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THE
PRIVILEGE!
