We have a sign in our house that says "Live, Laugh, Love". We've had it since I can remember and it's made its way with us across 5 states and 8 moves. It's a simple message, but a good reminder of how we are able to impact so much with so little. We can be huge influences to our kids, our family, our friends, co-workers, even strangers. We can bring joy to those around us and realize how the negative that might sometimes surround us is nothing compared to the positive that can resonate beyond us. Now more than ever we are crossing paths with people we may not even know. We cross paths on social media, via post, a comment, a message that strikes us, and we get to decide what we will say and more importantly how we will say it. We may never meet that person in real life, but we might just spark something in them to do good, to be positive, to share kindness if we do the same. Then there are moments we pass someone in their mask, us in ours, and we can still see the smile, we can still give a nod, a wave... We can acknowledge life is different, but love, appreciation, understanding, comfort isn't. We can be that one moment that may remind them, and they us, that we are here in it together and that we all have the power to make life, living it, this place, this time better. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "To know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." May you today, and every day, find your moments to be successful.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you remember that we all have influence and opportunities to make our moments matter... May we simply know we can leave a moment better than we found it.
Have a blessed and healthy day everyone,
