"Giving is so often thought of in terms of the gifts we give, but our greatest giving is of our time, and kindness, and even comfort for those who need it. We look on these little things as unimportant - until we need them."
~ Joyce Hifler
Last night a dear friend of mine and me helped raise money for a local organization called the Up Side of Downs. It was a success and a most humbled experience. It has opened my eyes to life, to this world, to the hearts of others, to my own life, to what’s truly important. It's moments like these that make you step back and really do some soul searching. Are you walking the talk that you’re telling people? Are you truly living your life as you said you would? Hard questions that make you really look at life; examine who's in it, who really does what they say.
For me there is a lot of examining who's in my life, who I bring into my inner circle, who I will walk this journey with, who has my back..in the same breath it is making me see who I am, how I give of my time, what is important to me, who's important to me. I believe each of us needs to have these moments frequently because it put a lot of things into perspective.
There won't be a work out tonight because my body needs a break. I have worked it hard, probably to hard for just getting back into it. But I'll be back in it tomorrow for sure. Take nothing and no one for granted. I am thankful for those in my life that truly care for me, that have my best interest at hand....I am blessed and thankful to walk beside them through this journey of life.
