How rather than Hobbies Thoughts on Life: The Mayonnaise Jar and Coffee When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar... and the coffee... A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff." "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Enjoy everyday of life as it happens

My Favorite Things; Travel, when it's not for work. Long drives with the top off with no place to go. A lazy day floating in the boat on the lake. Walking in the woods just to hear the sounds and enjoy nature. Reading on a rainy night. Good wine and the laughter of friends. Dancing in the moonlight on the beach. Going to musical theater. Watching kids play football. Family at a summer BBQ. The softness of having someone you care for sleeping on your chest. The joy of waking up and find you and your love in each others arms still kissing from the night before. What I am; I'm a bit of a workaholic but when I play, I play. I enjoy life and everyday is a blessing. Im a conservative good old boy (yes, I wear cowboy boots), card carrying member of the NRA while I may disagree with some policy I stand with them. I believe in a woman,her independence and rights and that they are the same as a mans. I'm a firm believer in everything a man can do a woman can do, (from some employees I've had, better). I'm a pretty easy going person, very romantic and kind of soft hearted, (yes I cry at movies), I take thing that are said very seriously. I am a person who is always stiving to be the best at what I do. I try to treat others better than myself, but lookout if you wrong me. I don't get mad I get even. I enjoy my friends just for the sake of having friends. I like friends who are caring. Embrace and enjoy life. Friends that are a little bit nice and a little bit naughty . You know the one sitting in jail with you saying darn we had fun. (OK, never been in one it's the thought that counts) I enjoy the outdoors,boats, kids, family, travel, water, critters, dressing for diner. I am someone who loves a good joke and can reverse it on you. I like friends that are there for you in the good and the bad and stick with you. Generally like my friends to talk with, go to diner and do something and enjoy time with.

Good Kind People. Having a lover that becomes your best friend and stands by you. With Love; It is not what you have but what you stand to lose. Love is magic; To wake up in the morning and find you have a true and honest love is a miracle.

Losing the one you love without really having had the dance.
