Ever wonder what to be grateful for? Each and every one of YOU! Most days I don't think much about it but then all of a sudden, after I see a slew of names that read my post, along with comments, I suddenly realize that perhaps even being only one person that indeed I am doing some good. Today, YOU are that one person.
Sometimes we measure ourselves with yardsticks that we fail to live up to, by-passing all the other measurements that others see us by. Often it's the "doing" tasks that trip us up that we might think we have not done good enough. Then I think of my aunt who couldn't walk, navigate on her own and sometimes even talk.
When asked how she kept going through it all she said, "I just try to be kind, smile and be gracious...they are working so hard." Oh my! No fancy job nor position, no following of friends on Facebook, no computer nor cellphone; was a patient in an infirmary and needed complete care. Kindness was her legacy!
How many of us don't give ourselves enough credit for the "little things." What strengths, gifts and inner resources do each of us have that could be our legacy...something immaterial, something from our insides, our spirit, our heart of love? Ponder that a while.
We are only one person but how profound that can be!! I am so very grateful for the person you are to me, like air beneath my wings! And thank you to all who read my posts, comment and share them...it means there might be a legacy in things I am writing for you!
