When I first read that Quote, my thought was, "that's easy for you to say, you're Mother Teresa for crying out loud," but it started me thinking.  Who in my life can I say left me feeling better and happier?   I soon realized there are a lot of people who fall into that category.  My sweet departed Mother tops that list as does my beautiful bride.  All of my children are on that list, now, that they're not teenagers anymore. (Just kidding)  My mind raced with thoughts of all the wonderful people that have touched and are touching my life.

            Then the thought hit me, can anyone say that about me?  Do I leave people better and happier?  There are some things in life we don't get to choose for ourselves.  We don't get to choose our parents, or some of the other cards we are dealt.  We do however get to choose our attitude.  We get to choose how we treat people.  We get to choose our words and our reactions and we can choose to care.  

            You see, that's what Mother Teresa was really talking about.  Caring for people, that was her trademark.  She decided to care.  She didn't just give it lip service and a pat on the head, she devoted her life to it.  That's why everyone who came to her left better and happier.

There is no doubt it's easier and safer not to care, but when we decide not to care, we lose something, because like Mother Teresa, we were created to care.  So, decide to care and you'll feel better and happier about yourself, I promise.
 

You guys are the best and I know you care.
 

I love you guys
 

God Bless,

I need your help.  I'm trying to reach Ice skaters, before the winter is over. If you know anyone involved in Figure Skating or Ice Dancing please forward this letter to them.

Thanks.
