"Because I Knew You, I Have Been Changed For Good"

We all know special human beings who leave a "handprint" on our hearts as they walk their pathways in life.  A few people come to mind for me, ones who make the world a better place for those of us who interact with them.

Do you know anyone like that?  Our community just lost one of the "good guys".  I don't want to violate the family's privacy, but we were lucky enough to consider him a friend; and he left this earth way before his time. 

It's interesting, I thought I knew him well but in reality, I only knew a small portion of how he made the world a better place.  Would you make different choices if you knew time was limited?  Don't we all already know that time is limited?

Staying in the moment allows us to treat every occasion like it is meant to matter.  That is not possible all of the time; we all have our breakdowns that we hope are not captured on video, of course.  This is a place where intentions are powerful.  When you wake up every morning intending to have a wonderful day, it changes the way you react with people.

"It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me 
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend..."

Sometimes it's good to take a breath and focus on people that have enriched our lives in small and large ways.  Having friends with whom we can share a laugh, a drink, or a celebration is one of the best parts of this lifetime.  If you are lucky enough to have great friends, you are lucky enough.

Have a wonderful day!
