Love



We went to visit our new child/adolescent psychiatric unit on Friday after work.
We are moving to a new hospital in about 3 weeks. It is a beautiful unit......everything is new and it is huge and the best part is it only took me thirty minutes to get home :)
I hope you like the words below.
Namaste,
Michele

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.
