Take Time

                Clockfacecoreyamaro

Take time to thank your heart for beating,

Take time to hold your thoughts and stare into silence,

Take time to listen to the undercurrent of others,

Take time to close your eyes, wiggle your toes and feel the earth moving underneath you,

Take time to give it away freely,

and let someone get ahead of you.

Take time to turn the other cheek,

Take time to be your best self.

  1. Thank YOU C. I will.
    Time for you to take a deep breath now?

  2. Dear Corey,
    Thank you for allowing us to share these days with you. It is a gift to be able to pray for you, your dear father and your family. As I take time, I will be remembering you.

  3. I’m going to take this to heart, dear Corey. Your words of wisdom are wonderful…thank you.

  5. Hello Corey, I have just been catching up with your blog and thus with you and your family.
    You still manage to write so gracefully despite (or because of?) the difficult times you are going through.
    All my very best wishes and thoughts to you and yours.

  6. Good thoughts, dear Corey, and a wonderful photo! I’m glad your father is getting better now.

  7. Time is precious. Time spent at your Father’s side must be the most precious of all.
    I continue to hold you all in good thoughts.

    And thankyou Corey for taking the time to remind us that loved ones are the most important pieces of our lives for without them we would not be complete.
    May you and your family have a precious Valentine’s Day.

  10. I hope everything is improving.

  11. thank you again Corey!

  12. I like that, “TAKE time” instead of waiting for time to do this, that or the next thing. I really think you truly have to TAKE time, for all those wonderful things you mentioned.
    I really like that jumble of watch parts etc, would be a lovely pile to sort through!!!!

  13. Take time to share
    take time to appreciate each seconds that God offers to us …
    Wonderful post

  14. So glad to hear your dad is doing better. What a lovely Valentine’s gift hu?
    God bless!

  15. I’m glad I took time to get to know you and to hear that your father is improving. Still sending my prayers your way.

  16. Dear Corey…THANK YOU…for “taking tme” to keep us updated on your father’s condition!
    Your blogs are beautiful.

  17. Without love everything else is meaningless. Your writing expresses your love for life and family so well, we’re drawn straight to the heart of a beautiful woman.

  18. Once again, you’ve expressed a very important concept beautifully in a few words and a lovely photo. Rather than counting sheep at night, I choose to number all the things for which I am grateful; there are so many that they soon usher me into sleep.
    YOU are one of the many things for which I am grateful. Thank you for your friendship, Corey.

  19. Time is a precious gift that we are only allowed something I know I am guilty of embracing at times. I thank youfor your words Corey and keep your Father and your entire family in my prayers.

    Will you believe it – my father was sent to hospital in a hurry yesterday. What a scare he gave us all. He is still there, but seems to be doing fine. He will be 75 on Friday and a big family party is planned…….
