money or time?
i've been challenged with this dilemma. money or time?
money's great right? i mean, c'mon... having it is great. you can buy anything, do anything, experience anything. money buys a lot, but does it buy happiness? i'm gonna have to say, as much as money can do so many things, i think time is just so much more important.
time. time to spend with your family. time to dedicate to making awesome, unforgettable memories with your kids. time to laugh with people. time to just enjoy the company of a friend. time to wake your kids up in the morning with breakfast. time to tuck 'em in and kiss 'em goodnight before they go to bed. time to say "i love you" to someone and truly, wholeheartedly, mean it. time to teach someone. time to be a role model to someone who looks up to you. time to sit and reminisce with childhood friends. these are all things money can't buy.
i know so many people who are always thinkin' about them dollar signs. so much that they forget to spend time with their families. i used to envy them, for their hard work and the money to live comfortably. but then i realized that they work too much to even enjoy the REAL gifts God gave them... THE PEOPLE IN IT.
SIDENOTE: Thanks Mom & Dad for bustin' your butts to provide for us. Even more importantly, thanks for not bustin' your butts too hard to not make memories with us. I LOVE YOU (and MISS YOU, Pop).

friend, I agree! We had awesome parent's who worked around OUR schedule. I couldn't imagine not seeing them after school, before school, and on the weekends. Not to mention, ALL the family trips I took with them. The money in the world couldn't buy what they did for me. Money is the root of all evil anways. People get crazy and greedy with it!
