“One of the most important things you can do on this earth is to let people know they are not alone.”
Getting older certainly presents us all with some difficult times. Not that these experiences aren’t expected–we all know we are going to face health challenges, confirming the fact our time here is limited.
Even though I love my life in Texas, I’m far from most of my friends. I can’t just dash over with a casserole and a hug.
I needed to figure out a way to reach out without disrupting their lives as they adjusted to their new normal.
Texts. I could send texts.
So, I began my new morning ritual. First thing each morning I send out my morning greetings–some people I greet daily–others less frequently. Takes a few minutes and makes me feel like I’m still in touch.
I began this routine thinking I was doing this for them. What I’ve discovered should not have surprised me.
I look forward to these early morning conversations knowing each person can read and respond whenever they want–when “talking” with me is right for them. It’s a great example of a true win/win situation and one of the parts of my day always on my gratitude list.
My story time share today is simple–reach out so those you care about know you are thinking of them.
Just do it.
“Never underestimate the difference YOU can make in the lives of others. Step forward, reach out and help. This week reach to someone that might need a lift”
― Pablo
