"Your legacy is every life you've
ever touched." ~Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou has always gifted
us with both beauty and wisdom
through her words.
In her above gift to us, I find the
reverse even more compelling . . .
every life that has ever touched
mine.
As my own time nears an end,
I find myself pondering exactly
this . . .
-that older woman who helped
me up from the floor at Walmart
-those fun remarks from two
crazy checkers at Safeway
-drivers braking so I could walk
in front of them
-unexpected compliments from
people on the street
Obviously, these are those little
bits and pieces from the unknown,
whereas one can't even begin to
enumerate those gifts from fam
and friends.
Thinking about this makes me
want to honor Maya's words . . .
Get my ass out there and make
a difference already!!!
