Thought for today:
" At the end of your life when last reckoning is done, you will not regret not having passed one more test, won one more verdict or closed one more deal. These are but small matters of consideration placed there to distract us from more important things of life. You will regret time not spent with a child, parent, husband or friend. You will regret not buying your mother flowers when she lived instead of maintaining her grave with her favourite roses after she died. You will regret not attending your child's wedding because they chose to marry outside the faith. You will regret not making that standing order of £2 per month to a Third World Charity for water purification that would have saved the lives of twelve children a year over the past twenty five years since you first became aware. So many lives that I failed to touch and all I had to do was to reach out a little and give a little more of myself. Just because they rested not on my branch, I momentarily forgot that they had come from the same tree as me." William Forde: February 12th, 2013.
