How Full Is Your Glass

I heard this said many years ago and felt this is something we should always remember.  A teacher in a school walked into class with a wine glass and asked his pupils if the glass was full and they obviously said that it was empty.  So the teacher scooped up some large stones and filled up the wine glass.  He again asked if the glass was full to which everyone replied yes.  He again picked up a hand full of gravel and gently tipping it into the glass the gravel filled in the gaps the stones had not.  He asked again if the glass was full and they all agreed that it was definitely full and nothing would now fit into the glass.  He then went on to scoop up some sand and drizzle it into the glass the sand then filled in the gaps that the gravel had left.  Now what can you tell me about this glass he asked the class and they all agreed that nothing else would fit in the glass.  The teacher bent down and reached for a bottle of wine that was hidden out of view.  He then preceded to pour wine into the glass the wine filling any gaps that were left.  The moral of this wee story is, it doesn't matter how full your life is.  How busy it is.  There is always room for a glass of wine.  What  I really want to say is we get so caught up in our day to day life.  Work, family, hobbies doing things for friends and family, busy, busy, busy.  We should never forget who we are and we should always treat ourselves to 'a glass of wine'
