This message was sent to me and I thought it was a great read. I love George Carlin and found his words revealing and touching.
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?
George Carlin
What a difference a sad event in someone's life makes.
******************************************************Below is my original posting********
Wow!! Where has time gone? I remember as a kid hearing the BIG people say that. Now I'm saying it!!
I can still remember sitting in, of all places, Mr Walsh's room before walking out to Graduate. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times a life time away. But even back then I knew it would be the last time we would all be together as a class.............
Yes, I married Danielle Sculley. Can you believe it?! We have been a couple since July 7th, 1984! We will be married 10 years June 28! We reside in Boothwyn, just minutes away from our parents.
It's not hard keeping busy these days with our little Hannah. She is two and man can she run! If you think I was fast you should see this little girl go.
I added a slide show of her, what a joy she is.
If the slide show image is really small just click on it and it will become larger.
I hope all of you who are reading this are doing well and are happy in life. I certainly miss the days of just being a kid with zero worries and endless days off. Drop me an email, I would love to hear from you.

Take Care,
Donnie
