Sometimes I think about my life and wonder if I have made a difference. Have I touched someone's life? What kind of legacy am I leaving behind me? As for the world's riches, I don't have a lot, but I would like to think that I am at least rich when it comes to giving love and helping others.
You know giving is not just the giving of money, although money is nice. I remember how nice it felt to be able to make two little girl's Christmas last year. I had some extra money and I overheard the parents talking about their Christmas and how the the two girls were only going to get two gifts apiece and that was from a local organization. I just knew that I had to let go of it and let those little girls know that mommy and daddy had not forgotten them.
It is taking the time and giving a little of yourself. A "light-the-sky-up" smile, kind word, or just loaning your ears and shoulders for someone. How hard is it for us to have a kind word to say to others? Words, can either lift you up or they can drag you down to the lowest of depths of hell. I know, I have been there and been the abuser as well.. How many times have I passed someone by and a simple hello and smile would have made them feel as if they were worth something?
And a smile, seems like hardly nothing, just a lifting up of the corners of your mouth. But when given from the heart, can light up the darkest of nights. So let loose and give one away. You may be surprised at what you get in return.
While I know that I am not perfect, I do strive to become a better person each day. It is a daily thing for me, not just a one time practice. And some days are harder than others. But a word of encouragement here, and an heartfelt smile there is all it takes to make someone's world a little brighter. I hope that it can be said of me that I was a carrier of light and not someone who goes about distinguishing the light.

We had an assignment once in college to write our own eulogy, and what would it say? What would people say about you? Did you do the job you were sent here to do? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm. lol. Great Blog. Speaking of blogs, I know you were upset and I can tell by the zillions of comments you got when you thought you might want to leave, we all convinced you into staying, it was a good decision in my book, glad you changed your mind and stayed  Take care Lost

You always share a smile, those that know you know your heart is huge!
And a smile, seems like hardly nothing, just a lifting up of the corners of your mouth. But when given from the heart, can light up the darkest of nights. So let loose and give one away. You may be surprised at what you get in return. There are those that do it all the time and they know if works.
To anyone that doesn't, I understand, today's world is sorta backwards, a little mixed up, but try it out a few times....be brave, look someone in the eye. If you are smiling they will feel the love...so will you. One smile breeds another, another, another....watch out! You might find YOURSELF smiling all day.
It may sound sappy, but not if it is from the heart
