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.
