OT but something positive :-)

February 8, 2005

I wrote this for a parents of disabled kids group I am in, so parts of it might

not make a lot of sense to you- but the main message is still the same......

Brown gave me an idea. Valentines Days coming. I was sitting here all

day thinking about how gentle and kind really Mr Masey had been with Buffy- he

really was. How patient Ms Dostal turned out to be and (gc), too.

Buffy made their lives difficult, but I have always felt they truly liked her

and also truly tried to do right by her the best they could.

That made me think more.

I have an idea.....WHO inspired YOU in your life in a positive way? Maybe they

were extra helpful or extra nice, or went out of their way for you? I would say

I think about how hard it might be to be Buffy- and some days I think it must

take a tremndous amount of courage for her to wake up and face the world yet

again.

I think of my Dawn and I think wow, she is such a special person to do so well

in the middle of everything and remain so cheerful and all. My Lil DUde

inspires me with his sense of humor and his laid back ways. BUT- I am imagining

all of us are maybe inspired by our kids. :-)..so I mean BESIDES our kids and

spouses. Maybe besides our parents.

Who else has touched your life in a positive way ----

Now, you do not need to post it, thats OK if you want to- but I was thinking

(actually I do this a lot)- maybe acknowledge THEM... maybe for Valentines day-

maybe just a little note in the mail or a voicemail sayiiing I just wanted you

to know I think good things about you? DOn't just think about it, DO IT. let

THEM know. Make THEIR day. Maybe it is more than one person, thats OK, matter

of fact thats even more great!

I know, sometimes I am really corny------and yes, I fall to gimmicks way too

easy, I love weird stuff, Furbies and Giga pets and whatever.

I admit, I love to send Dr Nurse little surprise hi thinking of you

cards-----and I send them to people here and there sometimes for no special

reason....I take flowers on occasion to favorite waitresses or check out

people....single flowers or a little 4 peice box of chocolates----

Tell someone you think they are great. Surprise them, make their day- and ya

never know, the timing might just be super.

Don't just read my post and say to yourself thats a kinda neat idea- DO IT.
