"the purpose of life is a life with purpose"
Not certain when, where or how I first heard this phrase, but somehow it resonated with me.
I have never been a wealthy woman. When I was a child Santa left us apples and oranges and we were lucky to get them. On occasion when we were fortunate enough to get candy, I vividly recall three custard dishes and one bag of M&M's because they could be divided evenly.
While I've tried hard to support my child on my own, we have been the fortunate recipients of other peoples generosity on more than one occasion and have appreciated it more than I could ever express with mere words alone.
Over the years I have tried to give back and of course giving money always is encouraged.
In these difficult economic times I realize giving money is often very hard, however giving does not have to cost a penny!
If you give of yourself, your time, your talent in SOME way, give to someone!
I would like to strongly encourage every single person who takes the time to read this to give a tiny part of yourself. It could be volunteering a your kids school, a senior center, a veterans home, your church, mowing the disabled neighbors yard, shoveling their snow. You could grow your hair out and donate it for people who have cancer & need a wig.
I only ask two things, number
1. Do something for somebody else!
2. Ask everybody you know to read this and do the same as you!
I double dog dare you, that ought to get you going! Seriously you will get far more than you give of yourself, that is the true beauty of it all.
Peace, Love & Happiness to all who have read this little ditty ~:)
if anybody can tell me who said "the purpose of life is a life with purpose", I'd like to give credit where credit is due! thanks :)
