// The little things in life.

Awhile back I got this e-mail forward from a friend, it turned out to be one of those chain messages but what struck me was that as much as it was the same as just another chain message, at the same moment it was also very different. It wasn't one of those that said ' Scroll Down and If you don't send this to atleast 10 people, your love life will be horrible ' but it did say this : ' If you don't send this to at least 8 people... who cares? '

I agree with much of what was said in the e-mail though, it really touched me and actually got me thinking of whether I was overlooking these little things in life.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,
because they are not going to be around forever.

It's true. You know when sometimes your mom or dad try to pull you out of the house and just go drive around or go shopping or something and you whine about it? Times like those only come around for so long. Your parents and family aren't going to be around forever, so those drives and walks are limited; cherish them.

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.

You were once young. Being looked up to is a great gift, someone thinks of you in such a way they want to be like you. Don't ruin that, say something nice to them and that'll mean all the difference. A small word, a little gesture can move mountains.

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.

Friendship lasts forever, but they may not always be around. Show your friends you care, cherish the time you have left with them before you part ways. Don't take them for granted for one day you'll need them around and they won't be. In a lifetime, you'll be lucky if you have one good friend...

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 cherish your significant other, enjoy your time together. Cherish your family and friends, and even the people you don't know very well. You would be surprised at how easily a simple little gesture can put a smile on someone's face, or make their day.

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.

Life is a learning experience. You only get to live it once, so take advantage of it. Enjoy the simple moments of life. The quiet night as you walk home alone. Staring out the window in the middle of the night looking out at the sky. Holding hands with your friend as you watch a movie. Laughing it up on a saturday afternoon at the mall with friends. Your friends head on your shoulder as they fall asleep on the bus ride back home. All of it.

Just remember life only comes by once, so live a little.
