"I found the world to be woe-
fully lacking in safe places. So,
I became one." ~J. Warren Welch
Such a thought provoker! I was
quite moved when I ran into it
this early morn.
Make no mistake, we live in a
difficult world in this present day.
Rather makes it easy to focus on
the negative.
What this quote shouts out to
me . . . an invitation to self adopt
the positive roll in a negative
environment.
On a simple level . . .
-be the one to greet first
-take turns at food and dishes
-deal with trash and mail myself
-wave at the neighbors
On the more complex . . .
-give donations w/o taking credit
-listen with no ready comebacks
-give out advice very carefully
-stand up and be counted
Oversimplified perhaps, still bears
thinking about. And, it matters to
me to embrace the positive . . .
. . . as well as making the effort
to learn to become that safe place.
