Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to meeeee, happy birthday to me! Today is my birthday and I got to thinking about a few things. Well, I thought about me. I thought about how people don't think they make a difference because they are just one person. Well, that's what I wondered about, have I made a difference in anyone's life?
Well, I have had the great fortune of a few people telling me that I have helped them and made a difference in their life. I am always honored to hear this because it is a special thing when people let you in on their personal thoughts about you. Usually people wait until a person is gone then they are at the funeral whooping and hollering about how the world is missing a good person now. The fact that a few people have given me this knowledge while I am still here is so beautiful. This lets me know that just one person can make a difference.
Without me a few things would be different:
1. My son and daughter would not exist.
2. My parents would not have me for their youngest child.
3. My cousins would have one less cousin.
4. My sister would not have me for a sister.
5. My niece and nephew would not have me for an aunt.
6. My kids at church would have a different Sunday School teacher.
7. My teachers would have one less student.
8. My aunts and uncles would have one less niece.
9. My Goddaughter would not have a Godmother.
10. My friends would have one less friend.
This could be an endless list because there is also the people that I may not even know that I have had some sort of impact upon. I may have smiled at someone that needed a smile that day to show them they could go on with their life. I may have helped some one regain positive thoughts about human kind by letting them know that they have dropped a five dollar bill on the sidewalk. My point is, you have to keep giving what you can because you make an impact on those you know and even on those you don't know.
I really enjoy getting older and getting better and wiser with time. Thank you for all of my birthday wishes!
