Feeling pensive

Got these lines in a mail from a friend and for one brief moment of brightness, every sparkled around me. Just thought would share them. But also will add, as my friend insisted I do, these are not written by he,r just "forwarded".

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.

You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass.

If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.

They will never be the same."
