.The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 CUPS OF COFFEE.
"When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.He then asked the students if the jar was full.
.
.They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full
.
They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it in to the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."
.
.The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table And poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the Empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
.
Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full..The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
.
So... Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. ."Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
".One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked". It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Saturday morning is here again and I am sure that the most of us are glad. We can use a little rest and enjoy the renewing of our mind and spirit. My blog today seems to just be rambling around that makes me think that I do need to slow down just a little anyway.
.
I won't see you again until Monday morning, I want to come back then with a smile and a good cup of coffee.

My thought for the weekend is the 51st Psalm.

Good Morning, DAD,
God bless all the folks in Nashville. Thanks for sharing the incredible video.
Mary's cabbages are thriving. I think they look pretty. Have a good Sunday. Aloha, Sara's aunt.
Thanks for sharing the mayonnaise jar, story, Dad. I actually first heard that story before my daughter was born, but had lost track of it, so was glad to read it again.
I look forward to seeing the rose album. Mary's cabbages look right out of a magazine.
Have a nice weekend!
Hi Dad, The cabbages are coming on well. I enjoyed the 'The Mayonnaise Jar' story, its so true. Have a nice weekend, Bob.
Good Morning DAD...
This will be a quick visit. I may try to stop by again later. This morning I will be attending the 3rd funeral in as many weeks. This one is for an elderly gentleman, professor of Spanish, dean of a college with the wisdom and advise and love of life that you have. So once again, your stories and videos and advise are timely to me.
It is raining here. A good day to make stuffed cabbage...now if I only had a few leaves of Mary's fresh cabbage! Relax today...it's been a busy week for you. ...Sara's Mom
Hello Dad! I love the mayonnaise story, its brilliant and made me think. Thank you. Laine xxxx

Mary's cabbages certainly are thriving ~ can almost see them on your Dinner plate ~ I enjoyed the story about the The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 CUPS OF COFFEE. and thankyou to your friend who sent it to you ~ Hope your weekend is a blessed one ~ Ally x
Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:
There are three drowsy eaglets enjoying a sunbath right now -- sounds like a good thing to do on a Saturday afternoon, yes? Ms. Mary's cabbages look very good -- not long now until you're both enjoying them and some tomatoes, I'm thinking. Your friend Steve's photos are so beautiful and fit right in with the day's mood. Love to you both from Jamaka and fams
