Be happy now without reason, or you never will be at all. ~ Unknown

Take time to work, it is the price of success.
Take time to think, it is the source of power.
Take time to play, it is the secret to perpetual youth.
Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to pray, it is conversation with God.
Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.
Take time to listen, it is the pathway to understanding.
Take time to dream, it is hitching your wagon to a star.
Take time to look around, it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul.
Take time to worship, it is the highway of reverence.
Take time to love and be loved, it is the gift of God. ~ Old English Prayer, Author Unknown

TAKE TIME

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle. ~ Benjamin Franklin

It is easy to get wrapped up in ourselves and not think about others and the big picture. Reach out or let others reach to you. It is give and take, push and pull that unwraps us from that tight bundle.
