To All CORSA/NC members,

I hope everyone is thinking about your `Vair Heels newsletter articles for this month.  The 21st is the due date for articles to be sent in and that will be here before you know it.  A lot of you started out real strong with your articles when we started doing the newsletter, but now seem to have slacked off some.  For those of you who have not slacked off we really do appreciate your help.  So please work on an article and send them to us.  Maybe everyone needs to discusse this more in your local meeting.  We need everyone's help with this.  One article from you each month is all we need.  This would give us more than enough to fill your newsletter.  

CORSA/NC is a large club and you deserve a large interesting newsletter.  (especially those tech articles guys)  I hear quite often that you'd like to see more tech tips.  Well, that's a real easy fix.  Just send them to us and we will be happy to print them.

We look forward to hearing from you.
Dick & Dee Charest
`Vair Heels newsletter Editors

MAYONNAISE JAR and TWO CUPS OF COFFEE

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a
day are 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 proceeded to fill 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 them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. 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 an
unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and
poured the liquid 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 other things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.

"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 are important to you."

"So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with
your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to
dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and
fix the disposal. 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. "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."

Please share this with someone you care about.

I JUST DID.
