It has been so cool to hear all of the stories of how people were so deeply touched by a stranger who "paid it forward" (or in this case behind ;)<br />Many times it was when a person needed it the most or had prayed for a sign of some sort....<br />"Treat others the way you want to be treated" is a pretty awesome philosophy for how to live a good life...Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857127720253838878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-71850064521616695052011-09-20T23:01:18.844-04:002011-09-20T23:01:18.844-04:00Paying love forward is excellence, and a life well...Paying love forward is excellence, and a life well-lived. I appreciate knowing that some of your worst fears have come true. Same for me. I could never have prepared for them, when they did indeed come true. Like when I had a relapse last year. Worry did not help. And the right action in response is only visible in hindsight.<br /><br />I do hope you got your rain, Syd.

I have for once kept things in perspective and have kept worry at bay. Fear is so much bigger when we miracle grow it in our minds. In reality it's just a monster in a closet we created! Hope your wife has a great weekend.

There is great wisdom in the words you have crafted!Nicely thought out and woven into a really well made tapestry!<br /><br />And as you write: Each life affects so many others, and the actions of one carry on to the next.<br /><br />As the ancients taught us: Everything IS connected! Every person, everything on the planet and in the Cosmos. <br /><br />If we could get this message out perhaps mankind would stop its devastation of the planet...perhaps we could enter an Age of Light...<br /><br />Nicely done and thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Roger ☺Chasing Taohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865851553217465404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-10196658446731355542011-09-20T13:50:30.498-04:002011-09-20T13:50:30.498-04:00Today, right now..lovely sentiment, Syd.

I can s..."I am still the over-achiever."<br /><br />I can so relate to this and it has been hard to let go sometimes. <br /><br />I actually was counseled about this once in a performance review by my manager at Colgate. He actually put this on the review. Although you set exceedlying high expectations for yourself and regularly achieve them you cannot expect the same level of performance from everyone. You must learn to accept a reasonable level of performance from others.<br /><br />I had people counsel me over 25 years ago about expectations but it took my son and his addiction to create a learning experience for me that I could grasp.Dad and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204246139693620329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-80872910184239264002011-09-20T11:22:02.796-04:002011-09-20T11:22:02.796-04:00Love the quote.
