One Minute of Your Time Please

The next time you go to a public place, such as a restaurant, observe the folks around you. At one table you will probably see a young married couple, looking down at their phones. They will eat their meal solemnly, barely speaking a word to each other. When they finish eating, they will get up and leave in silence.

At another table you may find an elderly, gray-haired couple. You will notice they seem constantly engaged in conversation with each other. When they finish eating, he will pull out her chair for her, and they will walk out holding hands.

The older you get, the more you appreciate the time you have left, especially the moments you get to spend with the people you love. Don’t waste any of those moments today.
