Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...

"Never, if possible, lie down at night without being able to say: I have made one human being, at least, a little wiser, a little happier, or a little better this day. "

~ Charles Kingsley

monday morning motivator & some points to ponder...


Far too often, I get hung up in our dog-eat-dog, microwave, gotta-get-done, zoom-zoom life style. I do not take the time to slow down as often as I need. Instead of reaching out a hand or lending a hand, I have been guilty of running over that hand. Today, I will make that conscious effort to make a stranger feel loved and appreciated. I know that tonight, I will sleep much better because of that...

I think this quote is the most poignant and capable of the "I can do this" quotes that I've read from you.  Thanks Michael :-)  Hope your Monday is wonderful!

I am very lucky!  I have a four year little boy who reminds me daily to slow down and enjoy the little things.  Yesterday, we spent an hour at the pumpkin patch, picking out the perfect subject for a Jack-O-lantern.  Wonder what's in store for today?  I hope you have a great Monday!

Good reminder. Often times we forget to enjoy what we have and concentrate in what we don't have

I like the wording, zoom zoom lifestyle. A great reminder to slow down and understand what is really important in life.

Michael,  my Dad used to say that he could go home once he learned something new that day.  My Dad was a really wise man, he strived for new knowledge each and every day.

What a wonderful and inspiring post. I think I will start doing that. We could all slow down and lend a hand more. Thanks for sharing!

I manage to do one nice thing for someone else almost daily, but it never hurts to be reminded, thanks Michael. I enjoyed the picture you used in your illustration, very nicely done. Have an awesome week.

Hi Michael, it's about 16 hours since you posted this message.  How did you do, are you going to sleep better tonight?

I got into the business of inspecting homes because I felt I could help people and do something that was worth while. Thanks for the reminder to look around and lend a hand where ever it presents itself.
