I feel vibrant, alive, full of life and excitement. My body strong, my mind sharp, and my passions abundant. I am thankful for each breath that God allows me to inhale. Humble I feel the need to give some bit of what I have been granted to those less fortunate than myself. Its amazing how just a little effort on behalf of those more fortunate can impact another life. Give when you can, help when you are available, counsel when your experiences are in need. Enrich the lives of those around you. If you live by this rule the world can become a better place to live. The simple efforts on the part of the word could end hunger and famine. I use a term I heard once at a Dave Mathews concert. As we were leaving the venue, the cars trying to leave the lot backed up. The car next to us allowed us to pull ahead of them. A man poked his head out the passenger window with a smile and said "Please pay it forward". We in turn allowed the next car ahead of us and we repeated the saying "pay it forward". To our surprise this dominoed. We could hear the words bounce from car to car. Everyone working together in unison amazingly cleared the lot faster than I could have ever imagined and everyone was happy and stress free. I now try to live by this saying! "Pay it forward". Give it a try, smile at someone today and say hello. Ask them to "pay it forward" and have them do the same with at least one other person. Kindness can be infectious and has all kinds of great side effects! Thanks for listening.
