Making a difference?
What have I done, of late, to make a difference in someone's life?
I will be accountable for all my actions and reactions someday, will I be content with looking back and seeing my accomplishments, my triumphs, my disasters, my mistakes, my foolhardiness (?) wait is that actually a word...well, it is for now....I need to try harder, be more aware.

Last night I finished a chapter in the book I am currently reading, The Ragamuffin Gospel and after finishing the last sentence I pondered on what I had read for a long time. Funny how sometimes reading a thought or idea can just stop you in your tracks and make you take a good hard look at who you are, what you are...where you are going, as well as a reminder of "Who's" you are.

Anyway, it was a moment. Made me think in many directions.....plus the making a difference deal....along with a lot more.

Always growing. Always....

We went to a wedding yesterday. Lovely young couple starting out in life.

Earlier in the day I took our little grand-daughter shopping for some "preschool" clothes. What a fun day with her, she makes me smile with her wit and charm...her constant questions and zest for life is highly contagious. She is a delight to be around. After finishing with shopping we stopped to see Grampa and Uncle Bear.....her exuberance in seeing faces she loves transfers onto those around her, just by looking at her you can feel her delight! It was a wonderful afternoon.
Our little grandson slept the entire shopping trip, only to awake to be fed and then show off his smile numerous times over! He is a handsome and sweetly chubby little fella, a wonderful armful.

Today is a wee bit gloomy outside but I have much to get down around the house, so best get at it.
I picked up a book on Feng Shui at work. Interesting reading, I found that as I looked around the rooms in our home that I had put into place some of their "ways'....did I do it by instinct or is there something to this method of "flow"...I dunno. I hear people talk about feng shui and I knew nothing about it, really still don't ....but did find interesting to flip through the paperback.

I have been limited in my "challenge to grow" reading material. But I am working my way through a rather good book "The Ragamuffin Gospel"....I am sure many have read it before myself but I have found a kindred soul in this author. I like his style of writing, his conversation method of having you wanting to pursue the next chapter. Brennan Manning is a author I shall look forward to reading again.

I hope everyone enjoys this Fall season.....it's one of the prettiest season we are fortunate to have in this province.
