In the lean slip of time that rests at the edge of dawn, one must stretch both mind and muscle to prepare for the coming day. The heart must make ready to give and receive. Each breath should fill the soul with the thankfulness of life. Take that lean slip of time and treat it as if it were your only moment. |

Kacy, You write truth so beautifully. This is another keeper - and carries a message we all need to heed. Alison |

In the lean slip of time that rests at the edge of dawn, one must stretch both mind and muscle to prepare for the coming day..." Wisdom drafted into words Midnitesun. I am glad I came upon your thoughts written in this piece. Beautifully and very descriptively Written!  ARCTIC WIND |

Midnitesun, That "lean slip of time", I do notice, gets a little painful as I grow older. I'm more than grateful that I can enjoy it. Bobby |

Now see how you got me thinking ! . Time gets more precious When there is less of it to waste We cannot predict the future Or recall the past So make the most of each minute Make every moment last..... Thanks MS, I did need reminding having got rather complacent recently... John |
