TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky. ~ Audrey Hepburn

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger …. his eyes are closed." -- Albert Einstein

"I work with a lady. Sometimes, it’s hard for her to socialize with the others at work because of her strong accent. Last week, she was sitting all alone in the Living Room, while the others were involved in a Christmas activity. I asked her if she would like to join the others and she said no. I asked her why; she said "I can't do what they are doing." I told her sure you can. So I took her over - they were putting Christmas stickers on clothes pins.

I gave her some clothes pins and stickers and we began doing what the others were doing. When she did just one, I gave her praise after praise. All she could do was smile. And the most amazing thing to me was what she said that melted my heart. She said, "Thank you dear. You make me feel like a little kid, in school again, God bless you."

At that point she was so happy. I was over joyed!!! I left her to finish and when I walked away, I could feel the calmness all around me. I made a difference in her life that day." –

I am only one, but I am one.  I cannot do everything, but I can do something.  And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.
