A very toughtful piece filled with deep introspection. We should all look within ourselves at this time of year to see where we can improve ourselves just a tiny bit. I think if we try to make too large a change it will most likely slip back to the old ways but a tiny improvement, one step at a time is more likely to succeed. Nicely done. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB :)

Wonderful thought penned. It's true that we can not pay our reasonable attention to all the subjects of our life equally. Thanks for sharing and for giving congratulation on my win. bl

Hi, these words certainly ring a bell with me. I look back on days I let slip away as well and before I knew it December was here and I missed out on a lot. Not sure about how to rate 1-7. Which is the better number to have? You are my first at reviewing so please forgive if I have done this wrong. Take care. Janet
