As we grow older, our priorities change. While I reach another milestone I reflect on my own journey. We cannot change the past, but we can adjust our sails for the future. Our paths cross and connect with people we meet every day. We leave an everlasting impression with as little as a glance. Stopping briefly at a traffic light, I make a connection with a toddler in her car seat. We both wave and tip our sippy cups acknowledging each other to begin our morning. As we part ways I wonder what she's thinking, how will she spend her day, what will she grow up to be? Did I make a difference in her morning? Her Father was busy, heavily engaged in his portable devices the whole time and never noticed our encounter. Every minute in the day is valuable. How will you spend your time today? What impression will you leave with someone?
Great words!
