Are YOU making a Difference?

Somewhere during  my lifetime (52 years)  it seems that many have either lost the ability or have simply chose to stop making a difference.    If you don't know what I'm talking about, then likely you are one of those.

There are many things someone could do to make a difference  but that is an individual choice and entirely up to you.     Something as simple as a smile or a hello to  someone could change  not only their day, but perhaps their life.      Other differences could come in the form of volunteering to help someone in need.  There are many organizations that have needs, as well as people in your community, perhaps your next door neighbor.
It becomes easy when you make being nice, mannerly & respectful  the norm to everyone.   I guess the key word here is "selfless"   If folks  would put others  NEEDS  in front of their desires, think of the difference they'd make in others.  So,   what Difference are you going to make today?

FAMILY EVOLUTION

The past 18 months has seen a huge  shift in my personal life.  Of course at the forefront was my rediscovering Rhonda and the subsequent relationship that has lead to our marriage.  Beyond that, there have been  huge shifts in other family.  The negative has been the estrangement of the  people I had thought were my  primary family members.  However, the addition has more than balanced that out.  I have gained  all of these  FANTASTIC people from Rhonda's family.  Additionally I have become much closer to my sisters in Kentucky  & their sweet families.
I guess the point in sharing this is to bring attention to the fact  Family often  evolves and for the better.  I am now surrounded by happy, positive people.  I  wish I could share this happiness with some of my estranged family  and hopefully one day that will happen.
