Listen To Life

Few things in life last forever, do they?

   I was packing a case of my books to ship to a business woman who purchased them to use as client appreciation gifts.  I needed a marker to write on the boxes so she’d know what was inside. 

    I dug around in my desk drawer and found a pack of markers in the back.  They had never been opened so I opened them, pulled out a blue one and started writing.  But the marker was dry.

   I thought about it and realized that I couldn’t remember buying the markers.  I found them in the back of my drawer so I have no idea how long I had had them, but evidently long enough for the ink to dry up.

   Few things in life last forever.  Your child grows up and goes to college.  Your boss asks when you’re going to retire.  Your loved one passes away.

   Today, please listen to your life and make a positive life, not just a living, even though we live in a negative world.  Listen with every fiber of your being to those people and things that are more important.  Take your family out for a good time.  Give an old friend a call just to say hi.  That’s how you make a positive life!
