Precious Time Wasting



"As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious."

                                                                                   ~ Benjamin Bratt



What is precious? Gold, silver, money, the baubles and sparkling things of this world? Yes, indeed. Yet no  man on his deathbed wished he had more. Time is a precious commodity for the driven --- to accumulate more. Yet, time though precious, is also good to waste every now and then on doing absolutely nothing. My friend Joy took the photo of these roadside flowers as a handful of us were taking a morning stroll. What beauties capture the eye if only we take some of our precious time and toss it away in meaningful stress-relieving ways.
