A great moment

What is the value of Five Years?

That's a good question I ask myself when I join the other members of my class for a High School Reunion coming up next week.  What have I learned in the past five years from school?  What important matters have I learned in being a more trustworthy, more courageous, more charitable person?  What is the value of five years?

What could be the value of one year?

What could be accomplished in this period of time, and what great differences and changes could come in this period of time, in learning and turning around from past impressions or doubts?  What new decisions or goals could be set?

I could go on a rant about the days, the hours, the minutes, or whatever seemingly small space of time mentioned out of a book, but the point is there, and so it seems, when its passed, it really asks for a good reflection to be made.

There's a new B-Ball player out there, and he's huge, towering at about 7'9''.

News for Summer '09

Well, the news is that, in the light of what's going on, as well as my own personal decision, I'm setting out to school for the summer term. I'm also having my sister come along as a visiting student for the time, hopefully for a reunion with plenty of those friends and relatives of mine as well. Well, I'll admit that discussion about the economic situation is currently long overdue, but I came to realize that over the course of this time, when some of the things which are occurring are occurring, that I was actually led to think about what really mattered to me, much less my life. During so much of the time when everything was prosperous, or seemed so prosperous, it seemed so incredibly distracting with all of the emerging technology coming out such as the cellphones, with their long list of possible uses, from the regular phone to the GPS, or the ipod, or the computer, and the like. But now, with the cheaper budget on the line, I come to have a moment of sense, a moment in which I can just get to grips, and understand what I can buy with preferably little cash, yet what holds possibly the greatest value. In this break, I also see a break to consider and set aside plenty of the great rules for using them as well.

So, for whomever is reading this, I offer the same challenge, as a rhetorical question: try and list what is truly important to you, and how you can reconsider the value of something else for it. Or better, what is something that you can learn to budget more wisely?
