It made me feel so good

The snow is dancing like feathers to the tune of harp music, heaping up softly on my shoulder... and on the road. I like taking strolls while it is snowing, odd as it may sound. But not driving. Down the road a guy's car was spinning wheels on the slippery surface where the salt truck had not delivered yet. There simply was no grip for the tires. I walked toward him and saw another guy crossing the road to the car as well. Then, without a word, we both started pushing the car. In a jiffy, the car went forward. We waved the driver to keep going - he waved back. Then the other guy, I don't even know his name, said thanks. I said, "You're welcome." He walked off but then turned around and said, "I really mean it, thanks." It was not even his car - maybe the driver was a friend of his. Still, it made me feel so good. Today I discovered that a simple "thanks" is as good as a compliment.

Birds and Bees and You

Today I was thinking about the birds and the bees and how small they are. So vulnerable. Yet, they work together and form swarms of amazing power. That made me think of you. We are so vulnerable each one by ourselves but you always bring us all together, to work and smile together. You energize us. With you here, we are a field of energy. Thank you so much!
