One of of my friends posted this picture with a story on how you can put a frog into a bucket of water, heat it up and the frog will adjust his temperature, and not decide to jump out until he has exhausted his energy adjusting, to not be able to get out and dies.

My question is, do we do that as well?  I look at some people’s lives, and they spend so much time doing the same thing everyday, but yet expect to get a different result.  This is nothing new.

We will always have those who sit back and accept the conditions as nothing they can do about it.

Then we have Angels on Earth, like my neighbor.  She volunteers her time, helping people.  She was telling me that one person told her, all he wanted was a steak dinner.  Well, after she heard that, she started organizing an event for the people there, and it meant so much to everyone involved.  This is something that we can all learn from.

When you’re out and about, keep your heart and ears open.

We all have things, gifts, talents that can make a difference in others lives.  My neighbor had many people offering to help if they do a function like that again, and it moved me how we as a people come together, when we need it.  We are Gods hands and feet!

On Mothers Day, at the restaurant, I saw a women, I really liked that used to come into my copy shop, 20 years ago.  She remembered me and called me by my name.  To me, that’s amazing.  I remember faces, but suck at names.  I decided that I am going to make an effort, to remember people’s names, because of the way it makes you feel, when they do.

When we focus on helping others, we help ours selves as well.  I remember one time, my first husband and I were so broke, we didn’t have money for food.  Food stamps were embarrassing back then, and my Grandpa came to our house, with a whole trunk full of groceries.  Still, thinking about it today, makes me feel the gratitude I felt that day.

So today, as you go through your day, look for those special clues that you can do, that would make such a difference in others lives.  When you do, it will make a difference in yours too!
