“The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass
through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape
parades for us, no monuments created in our honor.
But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are
scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come
along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique
talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because
we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we
underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of
caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It’s
overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there
are to make our love felt.”
― Leo Buscaglia
Missing my dad and brother who both fulfilled these opportunities countless times...
And sending positive thoughts to my father-in-law, another compassionate fellow, who is in the hospital. Bless you, Pop.
