Sometimes we get caught up in
discussions about Fiscal
Cliffs, Mileage
rates or if your lottery winnings
are taxable. But, then the events
that tragically happened at Sandy Hook Elementary happen and we realize that we
spend a lot of time discussing "things".
I heard Mike Greenberg, a
sports analyst for ESPN and popular radio show host for the “Mike and Mike”
show proclaim on air today that sports provides an escape from the real
world. It was his hope to bring a sense
of normalcy to people as they returned to work and school today.
“There’s nothing in the world
better than investing everything into something that means absolutely nothing,”
Greenberg described his role as a sportscaster.
I could never proclaim to
understand what the students, parents, and others who are affected by this tragedy
are going through. Nor could I pretend
to offer a solution to the evil that presents itself in our culture and
cultures around the world.
What I can say, is at times in
our life, it is good to take a step back and realize where we are spending our
time. Time is truly our most valuable
asset. That asset isn’t taxable. It won’t be deducted from a paycheck nor will
it earn interest. Uncle Sam won’t give
you a rebate or a credit for your time, but your investment in your life will
be well rewarded.
Take time to love and cherish
those around you, make sure they know you care as our time is limited, due to
evil or to nature, it is limited.
If you have some free time this
week, feel free to stop into Liberty Tax, we will let you know how much we
care! We look forward to seeing you
soon!
