The Mayonnaise Jar When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and two cups of coffee.A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and fills it with golf balls.He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured it into the jar. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf 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 a unanimous “YES”. The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. “Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family,children, health, friends, and favorite passions. Things, that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.” he said.“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “There is no room for the pebbles or the 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 areimportant to you...” he told them.“So... pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Worship with your family. Play with your children. Take your partner out to dinner. Spend time with good friends. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the dripping tap. 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 inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, “I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”Photo date?

Hi!It`s been a little while, but I am trying this online dating thing again. It`s been fun in the past, but nothing serious has ever come out of it, so I have pretty moderate expectations here. I tend to be most interested in women who have and value their education, who have a genuine interest in the world around them, who love to talk, and don`t mind the occasional emoticon showing up in *** texts ;). It also helps to have a sense of adventure. If you think `I have no idea, but it sounds interesting` is an excellent reason to go to an event, we`ll probably get along just fine.As for me. I have a fun, challenging and rewarding career. My sense of humour tends toward the silly side of things. I believe in approaching life with a bit of irreverance, and a lot of optimism. I try to keep hold of a childlike sense of wonder at the world around me, and explore it as much as I can. This makes me more than a bit of a geek. I love to read, fiction and non-fiction. An evening with a good book, and some nice tea or wine is an evening well spent, but a few hours spent with a video game isn`t too bad either! I also like to get outside when I can. I love cycling, running, and snowboarding, and I am planning to take up scuba diving, and maybe get back into cross country skiing this year. 600km through mountains in a country where not too many people speak english was an amazing experience. I taught myself a little Mandarin before I went, and it helped, but I wish I`d learned a bunch more! I have a huge love of music. I`ve been playing guitar for about 20 years. I find there`s something to love in almost any style of music, but I`m listening to a fair bit of folk, rockabilly, indie rock, and Scandanavian metal right now. For me, the Calgary Folk Music Festival is one of the best parts of the summer.Good luck and have fun with your search! Live music, or something outside would be fun.
