| Its never too late to be what you might have been. — George Elliot |

 “I was just in town and standing in front of a store. A bearded man came by and politely asked another man who was passing by, “Excuse me, can you help me?” This other man, much more affluent by the look of his clothes, replied in a very rude and abrupt tone, “I dont have time for that right now!!” and kept walking. I suppose he thought the bearded man was going to ask him for money. But that wasn’t the case. After he stomped off this man turned to me and asked the same question. It turned out all he wanted was for someone to unclip a watch that was clipped to the back of his pack so he could go in and buy a battery for it. Not a huge request. I was glad to be able to help after the first man had treated him so rudely. This experience reminded me how important it is to stop, look, and listen.” – Borderjoy

| “I have a seven year old nephew who is one of the most loving, kind, thoughtful, caring, and sharing little boys I know. He wanted to be pen pals with one of my sisters and me and correspond back and forth with us. We’ve been doing this for a couple months now, and I just got a letter from him the other day, which brought tears to my eyes. He told me that I’m his pal and he loves me so much, he can hardly breathe! I was so taken aback by his comment because I was just so astounded that such a young boy would even think of something like that. It surely did make my day. Receiving his sweet letters always brings a smile to my face!” – Sunshinegirl |
