Learning to give a ‘proper’ hug is on my list, too. Some people… when you hug them, they feel like a dishrag; like they’re afraid to really hug.

Betsy,
That was one of my favorite quotes as a teen! I must have been chasin’ happiness.

Patricia,
I don’t think our moms had the time or opportunity to think like “that.” It sounds like you have a great understanding of your mom.
Belinda,
Yes energizing. I’m always behind on blog reading. I like to do it when I can relax and enjoy it otherwise it doesn’t work for me;)

She also thought the folks in the USA were too worried about themselves and not thoughtful enough about leaving this world a better place for having been here. She was a very amazing person in her own way

The To Be List is wonderful!

“Leave everyone you meet happier than when you found them.”
I don’t know it’s origin, but I live by it’s creed. What you state here are ways to make that happen. I also have been on the other side where I was having a bad day and someone gifted me with that creed. What a blessing!
Thank you so much for post. I enjoyed the wisdom and insight.
So happy to have found your blog…what a treasure you are!
