Making a difference in our community at Maplewood Karate
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” Albert Schweitzer
Could you be the one that rekindles the light for someone else today? Your words of gratitude can turn someone’s day around. They have the power to make an ordinary day become more meaningful for someone who reads them.
Last week I received an email from someone to tell me that after reading some of the gratitude posts she had experienced a richer day, one where she noticed and appreciated some day to day conveniences she hadn’t before. She was then inspired to post her words of gratitude with a thought: “Perhaps my words can make a difference in someone’s life today.”
What are you grateful for today? Gratitude if practiced, has the power to change the ordinary into the extraordinary not only for you but for others.
