Time is precious, so when someone gives you theirs, to me, that is priceless.
I know that we are all busy and sometimes feel like we don't have time...time for yourself, time to get to know someone, time for those you care about (or want to care about), when in reality, we always have time for the things we really want to make time for. I know that I am guilty of pushing off people and things, but why? It takes 10 seconds to send or reply to a text message, a couple minutes to make a phone call, maybe an hour to stop by and see your grandma or have lunch with an old friend, and two hours to watch a movie or go bowling with someone that you are interested in. So why is it so difficult for us to piece together those small amounts of time to show how much we care and appreciate people or to give someone a chance? What is it that we are so busy with that we are willing to let life pass us by without even realizing that we may be letting something perfect slip right through our hands while we are scrubbing a floor that we scrubbed yesterday or taking our 5th shower of the night...or worse yet, watching some dumbass TV show we won't even remember next week, let alone 20 years from now when we are wishing we would've just talked to that person one more time or tried just a little bit harder to see what might have been.
We can always live with 'what ifs' but we can't go back to find the answers. Regret is a waste of time, time you could be using right now to prevent those regrets from ever forming. Send the text, make the phone call, visit your family and friends, and go out on that date...in the end, you'll be glad you did. ;-)
Love you all and God Bless!
