Hi Daryl,

Personally, this is the first I’ve heard this story and it really is a timeless and wonderful analogy. I think most of us actually do get caught up in the minutiae of life.

This is why it’s so important to take the time to just “be”. Reflection and introspection allow us to create space so that we can become conscious of what really matters.

If we never slow down and take the time to simply “smell the roses”, we’ll end up in a bed of thorns. Thanks for the share!

Daryl,

Thanks, this is a beautiful story and reminder for us all to take (or make) time for the things in life that really matter. With the holidays upon us this is especially true.

I just saw a news story about a woman who was answering letters that children had sent to Santa. One of her profound statements was that a surprising number of children had asked not for “stuff”, but for more time with their parents. Wow, that is powerful!

Great job Daryl…thanks!

Great Post Daryl…
When you start worrying about all the little things,
the bigger more important issues get ignored. Thanks
for reminding us.

POWERFUL post Daryl!

This is so TRUE… sometimes we
can get ourselves caught in the ’sand’,
and have no room for the other important
stuff in life.

Thanks for the share… Rock out LOUD:)
