And since I'm doing 'deep thoughts'

I read in the paper tonight that the only 'commodity' that you can't get back is time. You gain and lose friends, money, weight, but you can't gain back time.

Just a reminder to me to make the most of my moments.

Then, my e-mail quote of the day came with this:
Formative Time of a Child's Life
"I am impressed by countless mothers who have learned how important it is to focus on the things that can only be done in a particular season of life. If a child lives with parents for 18 or 19 years, that span is only one-fourth of a parent's life. And the most formative time of all, the early years in a child's life, represents less than one-tenth of a parent's normal life. It is crucial to focus on our children for the short time we have them with us and to seek, with the help of the Lord, to teach them all we can before they leave our homes. This eternally important work falls to mothers and fathers as equal partners. I am grateful that today many fathers are more involved in the lives of their children. But I believe that the instincts and the intense nurturing involvement of mothers with their children will always be a major key to their well-being.
