When children are....

....very small we give their age in months. We look at a tiny toddler and say, "How sweet." (Well, most of the time!)  And we are touched by the way in which they have learned so much during such a short time. Yet, if you live to be eighty you will only be nine hundred and sixty months old!

We don't get long on this planet and that means we are under a strong moral obligation to make the most of every moment. We are still sweet. We are still young. We are still learning.














He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.  
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
