What is Really Important in Your Life?

There have been lots of things going on in my life recently that causes me to think about what is really important. Is it keeping a clean house just in case someone drops in? Or maybe getting that next new gadget will make one happy...

My Mom is 75 years old and is having a lot of health issues lately. All her life she has worked hard and made accomplishments few woman achieve. For the past few years, all she's wanted to do was settle in with her crafts, books and other things she was always too busy for in earlier years. So far, she still hasn't been able to do these things and now I'm wondering if her dream will ever come true. Should she have taken more time when she was younger to do some of the things she longed to do or would she have really been happy doing those things instead of the path she chose?

Looking back, the one thing I regret most is the time I wasted doing things that did not involve spending time with my children and grandchildren. My conclusion...When it all is said and done, the only important thing in ones life is the difference one makes in other people's lives...
