The essence of Time

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back (like how I'm spending sooo much time on this blog when I'm suppose to be working.. shhh).

Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time. (S will never let me live this statement down..)

Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.

So spend some T-I-M-E with your loved ones today - significant other, parents, best friends, girlfriends, teddy bear, pet iguana.. etc.

I, for one have not been spending enough quality time with my parents.. and they are getting a wee bit older by the day :-( Sure I go home nearly everyday and gossip with mom over everything and nothing, while I'm a perpetual 5 year old with dad but I still take them for granted, all the time.

I feel especially bad over the weekends when I'm not around to have dinner with them. And I'm not even married yet!

These days, I make it a point to spend dinnertime with them on Saturday at least, and Sunday night at my place. Doesn't always happen that way but hey, better sometimes than never, yes? Regret over your parents is a baggage you should NEVER have to bear..
