Today is the Day

I sat down on my patio this morning while enjoying my breakfast and thought about the relationships in my life.  Beginning with my husband, my parents, my son’s and their families, and my friends, and thought about how I might begin to make these relationships stronger. 

The only way that came to mind was to enrich each of them by giving more of myself.  This is the list that I came up with:

·         Give without keeping score.

·         Give when you don’t appear to be getting anything in return.

·         Give attention.

·         Give compassion.

·         Give the benefit of the doubt.

·         Give of your time.

·         Give of your gifts and talents

·         Give human touch (hugs).

I believe that there is nothing more powerful than love in action.  Love for and through the characters that I create make them powerful on the page.  If you put love in action on a daily basis, think of all the relationships, the very lives of each person, that can be encouraged and changed because you gave something of yourself. 

Can you enrich your relationships by giving a little more, even though you may not feel like it?  Everyone will benefit, including yes, even you.
