Throw Away...

Words of the Day... Throw Away..v.,....to discard. What will you throw away today? Let's see, you might throw away used paper napkins,plastic bags from WalMart. Maybe you'll throw away pens that don't work, dried up mascara tubes, empty bottles of shampoo, plastic knives and forks. We are truly a throw away society. We throw away toasters that don't work, microwaves that heat slowly, tools of all kinds. We throw away receipts, empty milk cartons and cereal boxes. Some of us recycle what we can and don't throw away nearly as much as others of us do. But we all throw away more important things. We all throw away opportunities to make a difference to someone. We throw away minutes of time that can never be regained. We throw away relationships that should be built and not discarded. I wonder if you've ever regretted lost hours.....opportunities to share hugs, words, and reflections with family and friends? In today's world we sometimes stare aimlessly at the television when within arm's reach is someone who makes your world shine. Will there always be a tomorrow with that someone? Minutes can not be regained, conversations can not be rewritten, lost time is just that....lost. What was that someone said? Maybe you should have paid more attention? Who was that who called and you ignored? Maybe you should have answered. Recycle what you can. When you throw away moments they are gone. Time is precious but fleeting. Don't throw away what can't be reclaimed. Live in the present; it soon becomes your past.
