I read…..
I read this blog today that was pretty cool. So, I decided to steal it. This girl told a story about a demonstration in her class.
Her teacher put a big, empty mayo jar on the desk. Then he filled it with golf balls. He asked the class if it was full. They said “yes”. Then he poured pebbles in until it was full. He said, “Is it full now?” They said “yes.” Then he poured sand in until it was full. He asked one more time if it was full. The class said “yes” again. After he poured two cups of coffee in he said, this mayo jar represents your life. The golf balls represent the important things like your family and friends. If you only have them, your life is full. The pebbles represent the things like your job, your house, and your car. Not as important. The sand represents the little thing that fill up your time.
You can fill your life with the little things, or even the stuff that seems important but, you won’t have any room for the golf balls.
So make sure your golf balls fill your life.
A student asked what the coffee represented and the teacher responded, “I’m glad you asked. Even when your life seems full, there’s always time to have a cup of coffee with friends.”
A little hint…..
the kick drum and bass guitar are best friends. they enjoy being together. they’re like peas and carrots. so, if you ask a band to play something, please don’t have the drummer jam out and tell the bass player not to play. it sounds empty.
sorry, i’m sure no one reading this understands what i’m talking about. i’m just venting a little. I just left a service at crave
the speaker was interesting. everyone i talked to either loved him or hated him. i’ve never heard that kind of response before. Usually people are in the middle. oh well, off to bed…….
Felix………
well…….we were supposed to go to Grand Cayman tomorrow. But hurricane Felix beat us there. So tomorrow we will be at sea. We will hit Nassau on wednesday instead.
we were in ocho rios today. we walked up the dunn river falls today. my ankle didn’t give out. but i did fall 3 times because of it. i felt like an old lady. no one told me that you actually walk up the middle of the falls. good times so far. jen won 3rd place in a hula-hoop contest yesterday (she shoulda at least won second, she hooped against the best in the semis) we are gonna enter in the karaoke contest tonight. I’ll be in a hold em’ tourney tomorrow.
thanks for keeping up with my blog while i’m gone, be home soon.
p.s. — everyone always talks about how cruises are great cause everything is paid for. everything costs extra…………
