I CAN'T THINK OF A GOOD TITLE


I heard this today. It made me think. Perhaps that is why my head hurts.

A father took his young to visit the grave of the boy's grandfather.

As they stood looking at the headstone; the father asked this question:

“, what do you see written on that stone?”

The boy replied: “Grandpa's name, his birthday date and the date he passed away”

“What is the most important thing written on the stone?” asked the boy's father.

The boy pondered the question. He could not come up with any portion that was more important than any other. “Dad, I don't know” the boy replied.

“ do you see the dash between Grandpa's birthday and his last day? That dash represents his life. It is what you do with your dash that matters. “

Until Next Time
I am as always (starting now) contemplating my dash

Pierced ,
This is so true , One is that you have to make the most of your dash
2 you have to be able to look at your dash and say ive done the best I can do , and ive changed what needed to be improved ,,

I also agree with cozyred that i hope your dash is filled with love and laughter you do desirve it ,,

It's good to contemplate. (I think your dash will be lovely).

I make mistakes, I am out of control & at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. ~Marilyn

Ah, the almighty dash.

It's hard to understand just how important that small slice is, eh?

Elevate me...

It got me to wondering if I was the kind of man my grandfathers' would have wanted me to be.

Country,

I like your take on the story. There is more than self assessment. The is self improvement, I had not connected the two in that way.

You are sweet thank you

Like the saying goes; it is the little things that count. It does not get much smaller than a dash

Great to see you again
