"I read of ...Living Life Between the Dash...<br /><br /><br />"I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.<br /><br />He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning... to the end.<br /><br />He noted that first came her date of birth and spoke the following date with tears,but he said what mattered most of all was the “dash” between those years. (1934 -1998)<br /><br />For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth...and now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.<br /><br />For it matters not, how much we own; the cars...the house...the cash, what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our “dash”.<br /><br />So think about this long and hard...are there things you'd like to change?<br /><br />For you never know how much time is left,that can still be rearranged.<br /><br />If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel.<br /><br />And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.<br /><br />If we treat each other with respect,and more often wear a smile...remembering that this special “dash”might only last a little while.<br /><br />So, when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash...would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your “dash”? <br /><br /><br />You are doing just GREAT!!!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-23828718689574082772010-06-16T11:53:26.094-07:002010-06-16T11:53:26.094-07:00I love churn dash blocks and made a churn dash qui...I love churn dash blocks and made a churn dash quilt some time ago.
