Some days I see it so clearly, then I can go weeks or months without seeing any - but it's always there, you just have to be in the right mindset to see it.<BR/><BR/>-ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11253084.post-30893455132988587312007-10-18T08:20:00.000-07:002007-10-18T08:20:00.000-07:00It's been a while since I've posted a comment, but...It's been a while since I've posted a comment, but I've been lurking! You continue to post very meaningful stuff, Steve. Thanks...<BR/><BR/>Thought I'd share how I put this particular post to work. I was offered a chance to register for two free tickets to an event involving the Ottawa Senators. I knew I couldn't go that day, but your post popped into my mind. <I>Is this an opportunity to create a positive ripple?!</I> So, I reserved the two tickets anyway and offered them to a friend and her 13-year old son. They've been through tough times of late. My friend was thrilled! She accepted the offer and was very sincere in saying how much this meant to her. <BR/><BR/>It would have been easier to simply ignore the free tickets offer and not bother with the registration process, but you encouraged me to see the opportunity, make a different choice... and also make a difference in someone else's day.<BR/><BR/>Pace e bene,jaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230157018439147172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11253084.post-1949429648291396062007-10-15T18:09:00.000-07:002007-10-15T18:09:00.000-07:00Funny.

Now I'm almost looking forward to facing some of these issues and dealing with them in a much more productive manner. <BR/><BR/>P.S. St. Peter called.

I am a believer that you just never know what is going to happen next so you have to make the most of each moment. <BR/><BR/>For example, I always make sure to tell my husband that I love him before he leaves for work (even if we are in an argument). I do this, partly, to start his day off on a good note but also because in the off chance that he is in some terrible accident i would hate for my last words to him to have been anything other than an expression of my love for him. Sappy yes, but it works for me.<BR/><BR/>Have a great week.<BR/><BR/>LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707050489655009385noreply@blogger.com
