January 1st-New year's Day Baby

 Thank you-Thank You -Thank You!

I was overwhelmed with the response to my birthday. I am so fortunate to have so many friends.

However, it is not great to have your birthday on that date. You get "twofers" one gift for Christmas and one for the birthday. Football games and hangovers overshadow your big day. And, Lastly, your Dad isn't happy as he missed the tax deduction.

Seriously, I have been around a long time and that might entitle ne to offer some advice. Digressing, I once read this about ADVICE : Wise men don't need it and fools wont heed it!

But-I will still share! I have received many email but this one is the most profound-please read it to the end and reflect on it's wisdom.

It is called, The Magic Bank Account

         

        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....

         

        "DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD...!"

         

        SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THAT PRIVILEGE!
