Focus on mom, not the fly!

Jack’s Winning Words 6/11/14
“Never get so fascinated with the extraordinary that you miss the ordinary.” (Magdalen Nabb)  I read a story about a man who was at the bedside of his dying mother.  As time dragged on, he noticed a struggling fly that had fallen into a glass of water.  He watched the fly for a long time.  Meanwhile his mother had died.  The story reminds us to focus on the truly important things in life and not be distracted by the trivial.    ;-)  Jack
