Take Some Time.....

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.   ~Maya Angelou


How about you?  When you think back to the people you remember the most, hold close to your heart, why is it they have that place?  Is it because they made you feel special, loved, important, worthwhile, treasured, because they took time out of their lives for you?  Of course, the opposite can be true as well, and we can hold onto memories where people made us feel the opposite, but put those out of your mind, take steps to move those out of your heart.  We have all been hurt by someone, had wrong done to us, but we have also hurt others, and wronged people in our lives.  Today, take time to focus on those who made you feel loved, treasured, important, worthwhile.   Think of that person who took time for you when it felt like no one else would, or the person who helped you out when you needed it, the person who was there for you in a difficult life circumstance, and give thanks for those people.  I would even go so far as to say write them a note and thank them for taking time for you.  I don't think we say thanks enough, and just as we all like to hear it when we do something for someone, others like to hear it as well.  What a gift it would be to say thanks to that person who took time time make you feel like you mattered.  Don't wait...do it today!

Take time today to make someone else feel that they are precious, worthwhile, loved, as well.  You don't have to spend your entire day, just a little time with someone can make a difference.  Make someone's day by making them feel important.  You never know what type of impact you will make on that person, or what type of circumstance you will change in their life, but take the TIME to do something for someone else.  It is never a waste of time when we get face to face with someone, listen to them, and truly care.
