Goodness is all around us. We just need to be aware!

Hi all: On the eve of Thanksgiving I wish that all of you have a warm, safe and loving place to go tomorrow and for the Holidays! I was reminded today about how goodness is all around us. We just need to notice!

What prompted this thought? I was driving by the Safeway today and saw that a group of attendants were offering gas for single moms. How cool is that? This was followed up by a Facebook post by a friend of mine where she invited all displaced or single people who don't have a place to go tomorrow to her place for a cup of eggnog and good cheer.

I don't know about you but it continues to amaze me how many good people are doing great and selfless things in the community. And it's year round. They're ever mindful of helping those who are less fortunate. Myself? I've got my list for this time of year as well.

What are your intentions? And if you're one of the unfortunate ones, please allow a helping hand this time of year. Thanks for reading and continue reaching for the stars and offering a helping hand!

It is a time of year to extend a hand to those less fortunate, and invite those around us that may not have family to share a special dinner with this season.

Paul - I truly believe there is much more good around us and as you noted we just need to tune in to it--and tune out all the "other stuff".

A kind word and a helping hand. Those are what are always needed most during the tough times. Those are kind words you wrote and couldn't come at a better time. Thanks for continuing to write and spread good thoughts in your work.

Hi Paul,

A truly touching post.

Thanks. I just read a book about the effect of love and gratitude on water. Yes! Water!

Love to reach out to those around us. Gratitude for the abundant blessings God continues to pour out on us.

Thanks

Phil

Thanks, Phil. Interesting. Have you read "The Go Giver" yet? If not, I will get you a copy. Take care.
