Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:
Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private bank account for your own use. However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.
The first set of rules would be:
1) Everything that you didn’t spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2) You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it.
3) Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:
1) The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say,”It’s over, the game is over!”
2) It can close the account in an instant 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 the people in your life, right? Maybe even for people you don’t know, because you couldn’t possibly spend it all on yourself and the people in your life, right? You would try to spend every single cent, and use it all up every day, right?
Actually, this game is a reality, but not with money!
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just don’t seem to see it.
The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!
Each morning we awaken and receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when the day is done, any remaining time is gone and NOT credited to us. What we haven’t lived up to that day is lost forever. Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the magical bank can dissolve our account at any time….WITHOUT WARNING.
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds? Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than we think. Take good care of yourself, and enjoy life. Live each day to the fullest, be kind to one another, and be forgiving. Harbor a positive attitude and always be the first to smile.
Here’s wishing you a wonderful, beautiful day, each and every day!
THE NEW BANK ACCOUNT - Just for you,

Love your Bank of Time. It’s unfortunate that so many of us do not stop & think about the time we loose with each passing day until something makes us so aware that our account can indeed be closed at any time. Thanks for this profound post.
Be Well, Patty

Your post reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, “Do you love life? Then value time for that is the stuff it is made from.”

Posted on This is what I had hoped. Friends coming together and saying hi. Yes I’m here, loving every moment of my summer. We have had very stinking hot days and during that time I stay under cover in the air conditioned home or Doctor’s office. I have had lots to do and yes thanks for asking. So far everything I had hoped for has come true. I will not be returning until Oct. for the regular cat and bone scans. That means I have had 6 months reprieve from those but you know in between there is mammogram, ultra sounds, blood tests, regular Dr.’s appts. You all know the routine. Anyway to make it short. I’M FINE and continue to believe that all is well. If that little blasted mutant wants to invade another part of my body then I will spend my time doing everything I can to blast it away in my mind’s eye. That’s why I garden, go to plays, sit on the beach, party and rest. So that I can get up tomorrow feeling as good as today and repeat it like ; GROUND HOG DAY. ha ha
Love that you all said kind words and worry about me. I worry about all of you too. Hey have you seen the new t-shirt design. I hope you go and comment on it. BFAC - Cancer Sucks. I hope this gets on our website cause I’ll buy the first round. Love you to bits.
Posted on Love you back, Weezie! Thanks for updating us! I’m so glad to hear you are doing well. Sending you big hugs!

In case you have problems during radiation or anything else, after lumpectomy you might want to visit this website regarding comfort bras. I couldn’t have lived without 2 of the products. The cotton one and the pullover. Just in case you need something that will keep you up but comfortable.
