You Think You Have Better Things to Do, but You Don't

How often do we squander time we could spend with loved ones because we have better things to do?

Those better things usually include such activities as having a drink, playing cards, attending a concert or sporting event with friends, or perhaps enjoying some alone time reading, listening to music, watching television or taking a nap.

There is nothing wrong with not spending every moment with those we love; however, we may someday regret having not spent a little more time with them.

Everyone eventually dies. How often have you heard a grieving survivor say "I wish I had spent more time with them and not taken them for granted."

Upon serious reflection, we often discover that the better things we did rather than spend time with a loved one weren't truly better.
