A Mayonnaise Jar and Two Beers
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 beers story.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked his 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 it lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the gold 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 into 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 2 beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space. The students laughed. ‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognise that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions - and if everything else was lost and they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else - the small stuff.’
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room left for the pebbles or 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. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit your grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposals. 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 enquired what the beer represented ...
The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked. The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple of beers with a friend.’

Have a great weekend

It's 0245 & @ this rate it will be Sunday before I can check the diary again :-0 I've been busy redesigning the house on pages & pages of A4 & drawn up a wish list to the tune of about a trillion pounds...Sure gonna take a long time to save that much 😉
Gonna sign off now crazy gal! Glad to hear you're chewing again & I sincerely hope you are taking all of your own wonderful advice on board! I may leave the fighting til tomorrow as the NM gets the right hump when I boot him up the b*m in bed - whilst asleep of course, never on purpose 😉
See you in 8-10 hours - Juuuuuune
Good morning oh wise one, Juuuuuunie reporting for duty 😉
Good to see you finally getting some shut eye & dare I say it sounding a little calmer? You can hang onto the dosh til Jul when I treat you to a slap-up take away (to line your stomach before you rave the night away) 😉 Funnily enough I am @ Ikea (Milton Keynes) now about to pop round to Primani to see what bargains are to be had...May need to sharpen my elbows, it is a Saturday after all (there is indeed a place for violence)!
It did indeed, turn out nice again 🙂
Hi S,
Glad you got some decent kip, sunny here too but cold, Hope you are keeping POSITIVE and safe
Sxxxxxxx
Thank you Juuuuuuune, Adeeeee, DF and Suuuuzanne 🙂
Dear diary,
I thought i will check in for today. Not very keen on writing on my own tread since ..ummmmm...somebody is looking over my shoulder and into my recovery while breaking promise...but hey ho, this is open space and everyone has a right to read you like it or not.
So diary, been busy all afternoon and just now sat down. Quite expectedly urges hit like tonne of bricks. I believe they're trying to nag me for some "me time". ..cause ya know, i just recently slipped so another slip won't hurt so much...oh how wrong is this!!!!!! It's like battle with two different people.
I guess i will just ride the storm out, go for a little run and then just maybe time for that seaside to calm down...make sand angels and maybe sand castles while I'm at it 😀 ...anyone up for some seaside adventure? 😉 either way i shall take you all with me in my pocket lol..HD.
No gambling at this minute..one of them days where i will have to count hours to get through to the other day...let's the battle begin!
S xxx
...or just maybe get my sorry a** in gear and sort the necessary blocks out! Jeeezzzzz..such a moron i am for putting it off for so long!
Xxxxxxx
Sxxxxxxxx
Already in your pocket hun, push the S***e through,
Sending you good vibes and have spade and bucket ready.
((((((S)))))))
Sxxxxxxxxxx
Hey No Eenglish, wouldn't normally do this but think you probably meant to call yourself a moron above instead of the word you used!
Keep listening to the Angel on your shoulder, the Devil is a liar...Another slip will hurt, it will hurt you & therefore in turn hurt all of us because we don't like seeing you hurting!
Try & get a bit further than your measley 10 minutes the other day 😉 but don't go crazy as you have been poorly! Then leave your training kit on so that you can fight every urge that comes your way without having to worry about getting more clothes all sweaty!
Please don't leave me in your pocket when you do sand Angels, watching stuff like that makes me happy!
Be strong & fight with all your might OSAAT if you have to - Juuuuuune
