About The Dash

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
THE DASH poem — written by Linda Ellis one afternoon in 1996, has been enjoyed by millions over the years and is one of the most widely read poems in the world today. The Dash is responsible for changing attitudes and subsequently, thousands of lives around the world. The concept of the dash (that little line in between your dates of birth and death which represents all the days you’ll live on earth), the words and the meaning behind the poem leaves the reader thinking differently about life and what’s important.

I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the beginning to the end He noted that first came the date of her birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own; The cars, the house, the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what’s true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy is being read With your life’s actions to rehash Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash? - Linda Ellis http://www.lindaellis.net/

Tell Me Thursday - Is there a Dr in the house?

I'm not sure if the Tell Me Thursday site is still active or not, but anyway...

What is Tell Me Thursday?

 1. Participate in Wordless Wednesday.

2. On the following day (Thursday) write a blog post telling the story behind that week’s Wordless Wednesday photo.



After 12mths+ waiting, R finally had his tonsils & adenoids out.

He was such a little champ & back to normal the next day, apart from a sore throat, although he is off daycare for 2wks.

--------------------

A was running around the house on Sunday & fell over on the tiles. He did complain about a sore hand, but went & had an afternoon nap, so I thought nothing of it.

He woke up from his nap hysterical, so he was taken to the only GP open at the time. They said it was a sprain, bandaged it up & said not to worry.

After daycare on Monday, his career suggested it get checked again. So after a trip to the local emergency care clinic, off he went to the nearest ED, where the x-rayed his arm & they found a fracture.

He goes back next Monday for a check up, but in the mean time, he's pretty proud of himself, but hasn't learnt.

He's still running around the house.
