because you lot entirely own got a laid upward sum of it. 
You tin brand to a greater extent than money, 
but you lot can't brand to a greater extent than time. 
When you lot laissez passer on mortal your time, 
you are giving them a component subdivision of your
 life that you'll never give-up the ghost back. Your fourth dimension is your life. 
That is why the greatest gift you lot can
 give mortal is your time.

 time inward them. Words lone are worthless.
 "My children, our dearest should non be
 just words as well as talk; it must hold out truthful love,
 which shows itself inward action." 
Relationships own got fourth dimension as well as effort, 
and the best agency to piece dearest is "T-I-M-E."

New Years!

New Years!

“I walked a mile alongside Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile alongside Sorrow;
And ne’er a discussion said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When Sorrow walked alongside me.”
