I don't know if this story is true or not, but it reminds us that we
need to appreciate life.  During these busy days before Christmas,
remember to slow down and hug your family!  Give your friend a call  to
let them know you are thinking of them too.

Slow Down!

Have you ever watched kids
 on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do you run through each day
on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
 Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

 PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL

Dear All,

I just received this mail from a friend of mine  in my  college.
Please  respond to it. It will just mean employing a little bit of  time
and  won't cost you a penny. All it needs is the heart for  you to send
this  mail.

PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know.  It is the request of a
little girl who will soon leave this world as she has been a victim  of
the terrible disease called CANCER.

Thank you for your effort, this isn't  a chain letter, but a choice for
all of us to save a little girl that's  dying of a serious and fatal
form of cancer.

Please send this to everyone you know...or don't  know. This little
girl  has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to
send a chain  letter telling everyone to live their life to fullest,
since she  never will.  She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high
school, or get  married and have a family of her own.  By you sending
this to as many people as
possible,  you can  give her and her family a little hope, because with
every  name that this  is
sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name  to
her treatment
and recovery plan.  One guy sent this to 500 people!!!! So, I know that
we can  send it to at least 5 or 6.  Come on   you guys....

PLEASE PASS ON
