Counting What Counts: A Reflection for the Omer

If someone broke into your home to steal your most valuable possession, how would you respond? You would likely act immediately, drive them away, call for help, do whatever it takes to protect what is yours. And if I can ask: What is your most precious possession? Money? Jewelry?  No. No and No There is one resource that is truly rare, inherently limited, and completely irreplaceable- time

We live with a quiet illusion: that time is abundant. Money we guard, insure, and manage with care; time we leave unprotected, as though it will always be there. And yet, time is the only resource that, once spent, cannot be recovered. As the Roman Stoic philosophe-Seneca observed nearly two thousand years ago, we are remarkably careful with our possessions, and astonishingly wasteful with our lives.

People are frugal........
