If I were inclined to do such a thing...
And I haven't been so inclined since jr. high...
But if I was...
This is the song I'd request...

And you?
What would you request?
Who would you dedicate it to?

Me 5-18-08
That sometimes...
Despite good intentions...
There is no going back...
So...
Tis best to tuck away the pleasant memories...
Toss out the sad...
Let go...
Move on...

It's clear and sunny here...
Right about now I wish I had a yard...a patio...at the very least a balcony...
So I could be outside...
Wherever you are I hope the weather is beautiful...
And I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend...

I think I'm going to take a relaxing shower...
Find some reading material to curl up with on the couch...
And have some quiet "me time"...

In the past couple of days I was touched by an event that rocked my world...
In a bad way...
It got me thinking...
Of society as a whole...
There are so many things that just aren't right...
Hunger...
Homelessness...
Domestic violence...
Crime...
Poverty...
There is so much that needs to be done...
It's overwhelming just to think about it...
You hear stuff on the news everyday, there isn't enough money for a city to build affordable housing, let alone a homeless shelter...
The federal government's budget cuts affect services to those most in need...
And if a city...a state...a nation can't afford to do things to help its citizens, what can one person do?
It also made me think...
What have I done lately to help someone else?
I've got so much going on in my life that it's easy for me to overlook others...
I try very hard not to do this...
But I'm pretty sure that I have...
Things need to change...
And we all have an opportunity to effect change...
In our own way...
Big or small...

So here's what I've decided to do...
Tis my first (and so far only) goal/resolution for 2008...
Each and every day I will make sure that I consciously do something to help another person...
Or in some way brighten someone else's day...
I've thought about this a lot today...
I've thought "I don't have money...how am I going to help someone else? How am I going to brighten their day?"
Then I realized...
There are so many things I can do for free or next to nothing...
What does it cost to let someone with a lot less groceries in their cart ahead of me in line at the grocery store?
Nothing, but a few minutes of my life...
What does it cost to compliment my child's preschool teacher for the great job that she does?
Not one red cent...
What does it cost to donate clothing to a crisis shelter?
Nothing and I'll have clean closets to boot! <---A total win/win situation here!
Yes, I know...
These are small things...
But they are a start...
And you know what?
I'm thinking that after a while...
This will become an unconscious effort...
I like the thought of that...

Do you see where I'm going with this?
Is this something that I could interest you in doing?
If each and every day we all made a conscious effort to help another person...
Or brighten someone's day...
Think of the ripple effect...
I did...
It made me smile...
