When you worry and hurry through your day,It is like an u nopened gift.....Thrown away.Life is not a race.Do take it slowerHear the musicBefore the song is over.---------------FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.Dear All: PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know!
