:)

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. 
When the class began, wordlessly, He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar 
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. 

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. 

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.' 

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. 

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - family, children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full. 

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else --The small stuff. 

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued, there is no room for  the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. 

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, You will never have room for the things that are important to you. 

So... 

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play With your children.
Take time to get medical check ups. Take your partner out to dinner. 

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. 

'Take care of the golf balls first -- The things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.' 

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked'. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend. 

When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle, When 24 Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

Shower friends

I was just in the shower, thinking as you do while you chose what to do first, unless you have your own routine.

Anyway. has anyone besides me just made a comparison of your shower products to you every day friends?

Lets start with your Shampoo friend,
getting rid of dirt in your life is no hard job for your shampoo friend, there always there when you need to kick all the nastys in the bum out of your life, even if the first round didnt work all that well there happy to come back for a second round, but you can never over use the shampoo friend otherwise it will just be hard to get rid of them when all your nastys are gone too.

Conditioner friend,
Your conditioner friend is the one that waits until shampoo friend has done there work, so they can come up after everything wrap there silky arms around you for a bit and help untangle all the crazy knots left behind after shampoos ass kicking.

The Soap and shower gel Twins
Soap - You dont like this Twin very much, unfortionatally when you need this twin, you cant help but use them, sure they clean up some mess and can make you feel good for a few minutes, but after it all they just make you feel dry, and sorta worse than you did before
Shower gel - You turn to this twin after soap because you know that no matter what, you can always count on this twin to make you feel good and help you have a fresh start to every morning,

The list goes on but i need to go out and do some foos shopping and stop compairing friends to my shower products.

But if all else fails with your friends, atleast you know, friends come and go, and if you dont like the friends you have, like being in the shower, at the end of it all you can just wash them all away and start again on a later date.

Have a great day

when is it time to just give up and accept it?

So i have noticed, alot of people just dont know when you stop, take a step back, realise things that have nothing to do with them, actually none of there buisness at all and just accept it and move on. Not many people can do this at all, weather it be siblings prying into there younger siblings relationships, 'friends' having to put there unwanted opinions in every problem you have, or even a stranger on the street walking up to you and they tell you what your doing isnt right. Everyone seems to do it. (I think even i do it sometimes)

So seriously when is it time to just give up and accept whats going on around you? In my opinion, unless someone is getting beaten up, or murdered in front of your eyes, when it comes to peoples personal lives, relationship and all of there buisness, in the end its not up to anyone else but them.

They may choose to move state, write a book, delete there facebook, not use there facebook, ignore your phone call, turn there phone off completely, just walk past you in public, say hi to you and nothing more, not invite you to there birthday, stay home on there birthday, not tell you where they live ect... The list goes on.

They have there reasons and its not up to you to tell them that they are making a mistake, or what there doing is wrong. If you can sit there and say that then you oviously dont actually care like you say you do.. you cant cant mind your own buisness and accept the fact its not your life, you have your own life, they are off doing there own things and if its more interesting and better than what your doing, suck it up, dont be jelouse, and concentrate on making your life fun and exciting instead of sitting on facebook complaining to a bunch of people who dont actually give a shit but pretend to because they too have nothing better to do but hear about how shit other people think there lives are sitting at the computer all day reading the same status over and over again waiting for someone to pretend to care.
