Visit people often and help them and put a smile on their faces. Hold doors open for people and lavish them with a firm handshake. Giving people a gift they were not expecting is so rewarding.
Do something special for your friends. Call up your friend and invite them on the spur of the moment to go for a drive or out to eat. You will make your friend happy, and you will be satisfied, also. Spend quality time with your friends, and don’t miss any time together.
I love visiting with people in the rest home or assisted living. The people I see enrich my soul with beautiful lessons on what life is all about. We can learn a lot from our elders and other people we visit; we all have our ups and downs in life. How we handle them makes all the difference in the World and how our life turns out.
Do not dwell or live in the past; you can not change its outcome. Make new and fond memories in others’ lives and your own. Look at things in perspective and never lose your focus on what is truly important in life. We should serve God, the community, family, friends, and strangers. A friend in need is a friend indeed, as the old saying goes.
An illness in my life was a blessing in disguise. It has made me a more outgoing and caring person. I have become a lay minister in my church. I see things differently than I used to. I enjoy visiting with people and having them tell me their life stories. There is always someone in worse shape than you, no matter your illness or situation.
My goal is to help brighten or enrich people’s lives and put a smile on someone’s face every day. I wanted to be kind, compassionate, caring,g and an excellent listener, learn something new daily, and share my knowledge with others.
God bless you every day, and never forget that you can become a better and more outstanding you that will make God and your family proud of the person you are today.
