Double Chocolate Cake

I had my company picnic Saturday at my Dr's house, he lives in a big home that over looks the Puget Sound you can see 4 of the Islands in the distance it was beautiful. He had a pool that has the "endless" edge so you feel like your swimming in the sky, a big game room with lots of toys.... I say this because well, Charles and I both didn't like the house it was big had lots of marble but... it didn't flow well and the shape was weird. Nice but we have seen nicer.

Well back to the picnic it was fun having the party someplace other than the park and all of the kids had lots of fun, the lunch was catered by a local Hawaiian place and was wonderful, the employees provided the deserts and there was a contest for them, the Doctors were the judges and they had to choose from about 10 different things strawberry, cherry, pumpkin, chocolate... I won! :) :) Thanks Sheri for the Double Chocolate Cake recipe the guys loved it!

I can't believe he is 17 already......

86,400

Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use.

However,this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules would be:

Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.

You may not simply transfer money into some other account.

You may only spend it.

Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.

The second set of rules:

The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say,

Its over,the game is over!

It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right?

Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right?

Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?

You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY, this GAME is REALITY!

Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!


Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.

Yesterday is forever gone.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Aren't they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars?

Think about that, and always think of this:

Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.

So take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy life!
