He reached under the table and 28 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the 29 left between the rocks and the gravel. 30 he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in 31 the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the 32 of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one 33 student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always 34 some more things in it.”
“No,” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will 35 get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first. 36 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and 37 for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with 38 things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are 39 on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your 40 first.”

A
It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited us several times already. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.
He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.” Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.
Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink ---- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind.
Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: Hard times almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.
He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.
Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself.
It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.
Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
