Touching Hearts

Each morning, as you get up from a night's sleep, know that this is truly the first day of the rest of your life. Each day is a brand new beginning. It's a time to open your eyes to all the possibilities in your life that lay ahead....a time to attempt to put a positive spin on things.

It is a time to believe that miracles can happen and to aspire to the fact that dreams… really can....and sometimes do come true. To believe is to feel the wonder of a star filled sky and to know the value of a nurturing heart the innocence and unconditional love within a child's eyes...... and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings, we learn of love.

To believe is to find the strength and courage that resides within us, when it is time to pick up the pieces of our lives and begin again.

Each of us is but one person; limited, burdened with our own cares, worries and responsibilities. We may feel there is so much to be done, that we have so little to give.

When we leave this earth, there will still be millions of seashells stranded on the beach. Maybe we can't change the whole world, but there isn't one of us who can't help change one person's whole world. You may not think that you have touched someone's heart, but I have no doubt that you have. Taking the time to give someone a well needed hug, to convey that you are there for them, letting friends and family know through actions.....not just words, how much they are valued by you and even from giving a smile, to a virtual stranger on the street, not realizing...that maybe that was all this person needed, in order to have their day become a little brighter.

In giving of yourself to someone, you give to yourself as well. You receive the reward of a lighter heart......something we all need, as we go through our daily lives. Give of yourself today. Extend your hand......make someone smile. You'll be glad you did:)

    Its true....we never really know the impact we make on other people's lives, sometimes in even the simplest of actions.
