Bad News Overload

Due to an excess of bad news (9 firefighters killed in a warehouse in South Carolina, record breaking drought in the south east and oh yeah, all that stuff happening here), my brain is about to shift into Emergency Mode.

This means that I will make efforts to read/write about positive events and people.

Check out the header "You may only be a person in this world, but for someone, you’re the world!". I really believe that we as individuals can make this world a better place...even if it is only a small piece of the bigger picture.

Think about your day today. I will wait for a moment while you think about it. Maybe you had a business meeting today? Maybe you ran an errand? Maybe you were at your child's soccer game? Maybe you were traveling?

Each of these present opportunities to make a difference in the life of another person. No matter your age, your position in life...whatever..you make today a better for someone else.

The last 24 hours have been horrible for our family...but do you know that my youngest daughter had the biggest smile?

We sat outside where she asked me to paint her nails. After all we had been through....who was I to refuse her this delight? So as we are painting her nails she starts talking...
'your flowers sure are pretty mom',
'did you know God made today a beautiful day?' how many kids would say that on a such a rainy day as today?
'I sure hope the boys are having fun' - they were at cub scout camp,
'Storm is spoiled rotton...as she laughs' Storm is our dog...who is spoiled rotton!
She made a difference in my day.

For now...I will leave it in your thoughts to determine how you can make a difference in the life of another.
