Is this You?

I remember making a vow that if I could just make a difference in just one persons life each day than I made a difference. Now how was I going to do that, I had no idea. As life passed before my eyes and times had changed and events beyond my control had changed I had forgotten, now only to remember and to pick up where I had left off. Life isn't always what we expect it to be what is important is that when we remember that we get back to where we belong.

I remember reading a story about a man. I don't remember all the particulars of the story but the bits and pieces of it.  He was asked why he waved at everyone that passed by in a car. Now where I come from that is the norm, or it use to be.  He said that maybe that person just needed someone to say hello to them. I know I did one day. Then he was asked to explain himself. He said he was on the brink of death. He felt he had no reason to live. He made a deal with G-d. He was going to drive to the location and if G-d could get one person to say hello to him on the way to where he was going which was like five miles down the road then he would do the same every day for the rest of his life. Sure enough, the first mile down the rode a man waved to him. He didn't know this man, the second mile another man waved to him that he didn't know. Now this wasn't a small town where he knew everyone either. The third, forth and fifth were the same. When he got to the spot, he realized someone had said hello to him five times. Sometimes it is the simplest of things that can make the biggest impact on someones life. I have taken that to heart. Mind you I don't get to write that off though as what kind of impact I want to do for people each and everyday of my life but when I'm at a loss of what I'm going to do today, sometimes it is that Smile and telling someone Hello and Have a Wonderful Day that puts things into perspective a lot better than it was before.

What kind of impact are you going to leave today?
