Any good, therefore, that I can show to any human being,
let me do it now.
Let me not defer nor neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again."
~~Stephen Grellet~~
Just for Today
Yesterday I met a stranger...
Today this stranger is my friend.
Had I not taken the time to say hello,
or return a smile,
or shake a hand,
or listen,
I would not have known this person.
Yesterday would have turned into today
and our chance meeting would be gone.
Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me..
Today they are gone...
and tomorrow will not bring them back.
Wouldn't it be nice
if we all knew tomorrow would be here?
But this is not to be, so take the time TODAY
to give a hug, a smile, an "I love you."
JUST FOR TODAY,
...smile at a stranger
...listen to someone's heart
...drop a coin where a child can find it
...learn something new, then teach it to someone
..tell someone you're thinking of them
...hug a loved one
...don't hold a grudge
...don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
...look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
...don't kill that spider in your house,
he's just lost so show him the way out
...look beyond the face of a person into their heart
...make a promise, and keep it
...call someone, for no other reason
than to just say "hi"
...show kindness to an animal
..stand up for what you believe in
...smell the rain, feel the breeze,
listen to the wind
...use all your senses to their fullest
...cherish all your TODAYS
