I was praying with my son at bedtime tonight. We have a tradition of spending our prayer time at night with thanksgiving... we each take turns thanking God for family, friends, things that have happened that day (and many animals of course!).
Tonight the first thing he thanked God for was his 'owies'. That's cool.
I wanna live that kind of thanksgiving all the time... reminds me of the fullness of life I'm looking for - here's another quote to that effect:

Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering.-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

redeem the time.
