That is just how much time we each get every year. I realized something. I have been squandering alot of my alotted time. Just like tithing of funds, I should be tithing 10% of my time to God but I always say I don't have time. 52560 minutes a year only 144 minutes a day. I know that I have them....I spend on average 180 minutes a day in traffic. I should be doing SOMETHING while sitting in the car, meditating, praying, listening to tapes, something to make me a better me. I may spend 149760 minutes mad at SOMEONE about SOMETHING that is 2 days a week everyweek. I need to focus on letting go of stuff. Be mad at the incident but stop dwelling on it and get over it. It is not that serious. I need to spend more time forgiving and moving on. That mess is eating up a third of my year. I spend 131400 minutes sleeping but it's mostly a restless sleep because I have junk on my mind. I need to let go of that mess when I go to bed. Leave the office at the office and let my kids be kids. If I pray about it and then keep it on my mind that is saying I don't really trust that God can do it without me. He really doesn't need my help *smile*. Besides that is only 6 hours a night and I really should make the most of it. You know in 2006 I am making some changes...a new agenda if you will. I am going to do better about where I spend my five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee,
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife,
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man
In truth that she learned or in times that he cried
In the bridges she burned or the way that he died
It's time now to sing out though the story never ends
Let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends

How about love
How about love
How about love
Measure in love
Seasons of love
Seasons of love
Just how will you spend your 525, 600 minutes?  I know that I have them....I spend on average 180 minutes a day in traffic.  I should be doing SOMETHING while sitting in the car, meditating, praying, listening to tapes, something to make me a better me.

Hey Lady, dont even get me started on wasted time. I've done so much of it. My lil girl is so spoiled and i would always ask people to b really quiet when she was asleep. "please be quiet, dont make so much noise", i dont want "Chrissy Poo" to wake up. One day i realized exactly what i was saying, and realized i may get exactly what im asking for, yanno? So, i have stopped saying it. Life is too short.

Atleast u recognize...and u can now do what ever it is u feel u need to do to change. You'll b iight sis.

Take Care..
