Good Morning,
I spent a good part of this past weekend enduring the stomach flu. It came on Saturday afternoon and has been kicking my butt, and other parts of my body for the rest of the weekend. Needless to say, I did not go anywhere after it hit and did a lot of resting.
During this time, I was never alone. My wife, Karen, was there. She made sure I was okay, and took care of me throughout the roughest parts of the illness. Her love and care reminded me of my Mom taking care of me as a kid.
This made me think about how we are never truly alone in life.
There are always people who are thinking about us on some level somewhere in the world:
- It may be someone you gave a seminar to, where some of the words you said had a profound and lingering impact.
- It could be that you let someone go ahead of in line at the grocery store and that person's smile and thank you warmed you heart.
- Maybe it is the driveway you shoveled this last snowfall where people living there were not able to help, but you were there for them. And the hot chocolate was good!
If you remember these times, you will find your heart can be warmed again. When you touch the life of another, it is not a one time event. Those memories carry power and influence over your life every day for the rest of your life.
While we have the memories of loved ones and heart-warming events in our life, we have something to hold on to.
The best part is that while we are alive and moderately well, we can create more of those memories. We can stock up and create a warehouse of heartwarming memories when we need it the most.
Well, I feel better after typing this. I hope you do too.
Enjoy!
